PBS Bid question.

If my category has projected 33 lines and 36 total pilots bidding will the system force flying on Junior people.

Example if in the top 15 more than 3 people want reserve will PBS build a line for everyone else? I would rather do reserve. Would I even have that option?

They have an intercom feature that is hot and typically used after engine until TOC and then from TOD until eng shutdown. Works great and cockpit is quiet enough where you just use Telex's

You might, depending upon the settings that the Company chooses to use. Typically, I've seen lots of open time left over, which means that they have not chosen to do so.

Disreguard

Please explain why we are being asked to consider CDOs AGAIN!

Never mind, we weren't asked about it the last time.

If you only have 3 reserves plan on flying a lot. Rolling thunder might be a great plan!

Because some pilots have expressed a interest in flying them and their reps have asked. Should they be ignored? That is why you have a survey! If a majority of the pilots don't want them you move on and have it documented.

It's all about unity and how the company views pilot sympathies. If only 30% of the pilots bother to fill out the survey the company is going to assume the pilots are satisfied with the status quo. Just as we have to put together a negotiating position management also must go through the same exercise. The degree of pilot unification and activity in the union they see will influence their budget for a new contract.

I have been junior (in a base where RSV goes senior) and tried to bid reserve once and the reasons report said "max reserve lines met" or something like that.

Why reveal those numbers? Just keep them secret. We don't want to show our cards.:rolleyes:
