As guys above me said, PBS does NOT ignore seniority, not even in coverage. HOWEVER...

Scoop, Hrkdrivr, Roadkill: Thanks for the follow-up / info. That's essentially what I'd thought, having scoured the PBS Gouge and anything else I can find on the subject--which is why I can't understand why I regularly read (on multiple threads on this site) about how "PBS violates seniority".... Thanks for the explanantions!

So far, I've managed to pull up the sim schedule, read the FOM training section, and booked my flights, but I have no idea what hotel I'm staying at because it's so super secret that it's not on Icrew, but I'll bet it's in the letter!

I never got a training letter.... I called the Holiday Inn North (1st call... got lucky) before I left and they had my reservation. Try the DoubleTree and the Crowne too.... they'll answer the phone before the crew planner does.

Challenge: If anyone can find a picture of a Green, Yellow or White slip and post it I will give you this new car as soon as one of my fetching associates gets it washed.


A Green Slip was on a green sheet of paper, Yellow Slip on yellow, etc. You filled it out manually and handed it to your scheduler. That's why it paid to be REAL nice to them, ie bottles of wine, liquor, etc. at Christmas.

Anyone care to post a rundown of the South America/Latin America destinations (your favorites/ones you hate and why)?

I'm new to the ATL7ER and I'm trying to sort out the good/bad/ugly.

For a reference, a good trip to me would be: commutable (all SA is although red-eyes are ugly), clean hotel, a good workout facility (weights), and easy access to a grocery store or healthy food around the hotel. I don't really care about touristy stuff.

I get on the crew guide but the info is spotty and some of it dated.

Thanks!

Advance entitlement bids were also entered on loose leaf sheets which were kept in a binder. There were unconfirmed reports of pranksters submitting bogus sheets to bid another guy out of the base. :p

Post your seniority number and I tell you whether it sucks or not;)
