Hey Scheduling Gurus,

If my schedule says one thing and my Reasons report says something totally opposite, like several times, preferred off "honored," when it's not, rtc, etc. Who do I contact to ask questions? This has never happened to me before. Or, more accurately probably, what am I missing?

Ah ha is right! Three APC'ers in the same cockpit. No wonder the plane had a mechanical. It probably had stage fright. :D

I made my trip with plenty to spare on second backup. Too chicken to chance it. Glad you made it too.

Nice to meet you (in person again) too, dalad! :D

It was $12k for a 2 night stay for one, $15k for a five night stay for the other both viruses. The latter hit his head playing and that was $5k ER visit. Still paying off the $2k bill from last year.

My total hospital bill for FTB since 1999, $150.

Maybe you should put an app in at Sourhwest. :rolleyes:

The most interesting man in the world has nothing on the newk, fact.

Tasers for the ladies is just necessary, sorry for the inconviemances newk. I'm trying to keep it on dl so Mr. Springer will stop calling me to come on his show...;)

What is another fact is that you DO need TWO tasers to stay off Springer, sir. :D

Try 1800 USA ALPA on monday and someone will be able to help you. They are VERY good and hear the same questions over and over again.

See what happens when you try the backdoor without asking nicely? :)

Buzz,

I was curious and took a look at your award and reasons report. To me, it looks like you got those trips because of your number 4 award preference. All your prefer off preferences came after that #4 where you were awarded all those trips so, in essence, PBS, did honor those prefer offs just after you had already been awarded the trips from a higher priorty preference, it doesn't look back. Make sense?:confused:

Usually PBS will say something like "line complete" or "award complete" and not process any more once you are in the window. I think it went on in your case because of the "max credit" bid.

Just my 2 cents worth. Take it for what it's worth!:D

Denny

I was looking at that, too. It looks like he got exactly what he asked for.... :confused: I figured he got unstacked, but it honored his preferences....
