Interesting perspective I hadn't thought about it this way. My reasons report shows that trip awarded as coverage in the pre-award line. Later down in my preferences I had a "award pairing if layover in XXX" line, which was one of the layovers on the coverage trip. Under that line it says "1 awarded for coverage". Does that mean I would have gotten another coverage trip had I not bid that line or I was going to be given that trip no matter what?

Coverage awards must be processed from the same bid group as your awarded schedule. Pbs identifies the days you are subject to coverage and ignores any prefer offs for those days. It awards a trip or trips that operate on the coverage days using the remaining lines in your bid.

Per the implementation LOA and the “timecards” thread, the first couple months of holiday pay is a manual process. The guess is after trip close out. I would keep an eye on it to insure it gets added.

And the most senior pilots did not really bid for a PBS holiday trip, only about 15 percent or so of the top 100 pilots did. I thought about it too, but did not bid a PBS holiday trip because I try not to fly bid package trips. But I fully intend to pick up an ARCOS white slip over the Memorial Day holiday instead.

Yes. Holiday pay is intended to reduce PBS stacking on the holiday, that is, not have so much forced coverage and so many uncovered trips that day. And it seems to have done that to some extent. But looking at the ATL320A wide report does seem to show there is still an open time stack, but the stack has shifted to the days just before the 29th memorial holiday.
