True but I think the OP was wondering if there was some set time where they ran the slip requests each day before the PCS runs and there is not. In my case they printed out the slip requests several hours before they actually started awarding the trips. Oh, and to clarify, in my example it was for a YS next day flying which I believe is done manually and outside of the automated PCS runs.

From this morning's 44 Update:

Item 5. Tentative Agreement, LOA 14-02 Electronic Tablet Devices: Our Negotiating Committee and Delta reached a Tentative Agreement, LOA 14-02, this last week for the company provided tablets (electronic flight bag). LOA 14-02 contains many of the same protections as Memorandum of Understanding 13-01, Airwatch Privacy. Additionally, this LOA protects our pilots from the added recording capability of the camera and microphone that is integrated in the tablet, as well as tracking and a host of other concerns you have communicated to us.

The MEC will be briefed and vote on this LOA in Chicago this week.

Ahh, the labeling of constructive criticism as something completely different. Fall in line sheeple--or else.

Saying we kept people on a 100 degree aircraft for 4.5 hours at the gate waiting for pilots because they have understaffed the airline is not quite constructive criticism. Especially because it's highly doubtful that even happened. Regardless the company has social media policies. Feel free to challenge them at your own risk.

I had a GS request in for a specific rotation and it went to another pilot (his #2) 16 minutes after the time stamp for my slip request. Appears the scheduler ignored my slip request. :(

Once the scheduler pulls the coverage for a trip no further added slips will show up. The scheduler is required to refresh the list after 30 minutes if they were not able to cover the trip by then.

You need to call contract admin. If your yellow slip was in you should have been awarded the trip. They are not allowed to run a PCS run even 1 minute early. If the trip was for the next day they don't cover them using PCS runs. They are covered by hand and should be covered as they become known after the 7 am run.

Agreed. In any case, it does not seem to fit the FAA definition of "uninterrupted sleep opportunity."

Commencing on the second PCS run after submission is when you get put in seniority order. That's why it's better to modify a request than delete it and start over. The same thing happens to a modification but at least the original is still in for consideration. Don't know if it's still this way.

That changed about 3 years ago. You can modify without losing your place in line.

They are supposed to refresh the coverage list every 30 minutes.

How does one request a blank line? Is there an option in PBS or do you have to call in the request?

If you are senior enough to fall within the RLL limit and you do not bid reserve or an RLL and PBS cannot build you a line within the normal LCW, it will send you to reserve. You will then get a call from the PBS Administrator asking if you would prefer a blank regular line to remaining on reserve.
