You can drop/add trips through the computer anytime, assuming something is available to be picked up or there is coverage for you to drop.
Line holders can also participate in SAP after the initial monthly bid award to re-arrange their schedules prior to composite lines being published for the rest of the pilots.
Of the minimum 12 days off per month, 6 can be isolated.
Our scheduling system is not as good or "standard" as other airlines, we are currently negotiating its replacement, hoping for flica.
I think you will find though that the quality of schedules are better on the airbus over the MD80 -and- the larger the base you are in, the better your schedule can be.

The software runs through your browser and will run on any platform. VERY easy to set up.
You record your answers and can view them to make sure you are happy. Once you are happy, move on to the next questions. When you are done, it uploads and you can close the browser.
VERY straightforward.
I have been waiting all day for some sort of email. I guess it will take a few days longer but I am anxious to hear.
I will keep you updated on the process. I hope this helps you guys.

**list of bases, from greatest to least seniority**
1)BLI (you will never have it as a captain, you may possibly be the most Jr. FO. Just don't be a carpetbagger and take it just because you want the bus, lots of NW guys have been screwed by dumb pilots who were "too scared" to fly the -80 so they took a base they'd never even heard of)
2)SFB
3)IWA
4)PIE
5)LAX (senior for captains, Jr. for FO but most people are there because they want to be)
6)LAS
7)FLL
8)PGD
9)CVG
10)OAK (small base but very jr)
11)AVL
12)VBD
13)PIT (quickest Airbus upgrade)
This is mostly my opinion, the actual assignments of pilots may be slightly different, this also changes frequently. As we add planes and bases this all gets mixed up pretty good. Best advice is move to your base if you can or bid VBD if you can't.

It's mostly the same, SFB and LAS are gonna be the last two -80 bases this year with LAS being most Jr. You'll get SFB on the -80 probably before training finishes. VBD -80 is in the middle of those two and you can probably have it before training finishes.
Airbus bases for new FO's will always be:
PIT
OAK
PGD
LAX
The rest are more difficult to get including VBD. Expect up to a year to hold IWA and SFB as a new hire. If we open a new base all bets are off.
