Something else that has nothing to do with Katy Perry (or ALPA... or ribs, for that matter... or Doug Steenland, thank goodness). But it does have to do with bids being posted, so it's semi-relevant....
I'm in -88 school coming off the -9. Set to finish on March 13th. Shadowed out until the 19th (for IOE, I presume). I attempted to bid, first for days off (son's birthday the last weekend of march) and then for pretty much max sked, but bid to get the days off even if I needed to be on reserve.
Once the bids came out, there's nothing. My line shows the training until the 13th & the requisite credit, but nothing at all for the rest of the month. The reasons report doesn't even show my bid processed. It just shows the training.
Was I not eligible to bid for March? If not, what happens after OE? What are my chances of being able to finagle the last weekend of the month off?
Sorry for all the questions. I realize I could look all this up, but SPD SEL vs. IAS/MACH and the fact that the gol-darned throttles move all by themselves is taking up too much room in my brain at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
