1. ASA
2. 74%
3. For Feb received 14 days off (7 of which are vacation), work a 4 day, 5 days off, work a 4 day, 2 days off. Could have tried to bid to make those four days start closer together near the end of the month, but my personal schedule required that I be somewhere other than in an airplane during two of those 5 days off.
4. You do generally get what you bid for, as long as you learn how to use the PBS system. The PBS trainers can help anyone out with that.
5. I'm very happy with the new ASA PBS system. I was hesistant about it after hearing stories that PBS at other airlines having so many issues, but learned that ASA's MEC worked to resolve those issues. After seeing the results of my practice bids that we went through over the last few months and now my Feb bid results, in my opinion, this PBS is a good product.
