Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

As a relatively new guy, I'm don't understand PBS very well...so I need an assist. I've been a line holder for a few months, and was expecting a line again...why not? My bid is easy, just a couple Award lines for 4 day trips and layovers at home. I have a carryover trip, that has 19 hours of credit into Jan. When the schedule came out, it gave me reserve...happened to a few of my buds as well. Here's what the Reasons Report says:

Bid group not attempted: Previous pairing bid group could not build a complete line

What does that mean? Why do so many people below me have a line when they had holiday trips as well?

Help!

You need to go to the DALPA site and download the PBS gouge and then read it carefully. After doing that construct your FEB bid. When you think you have done a good job call the DALPA PBS guys and have them critique it. Do the same for the next 2 or 3 months and your quality of life will improve a lot.

Anyone know if we were flying TP avoidance routes in the area that American hit the severe turbulence?

Between now and 2017. In addition the small motored domestic 767's are scheduled to be parked around 2017.

Are there large-motored domestic 767's? I thought all the non-ETOPS 767's were identical.

forgot to bid

It depends on the quality of the surface, the amount of alcohol consumed, and of course, your powers of persuasion.

We initially started flying about 50.5% of the EASK's...down about 1% of where we should have started. We then went steadily down from there to about 47.5% just prior to Alitalia's addition. After Alitalia, we instantly dropped to 46% because of the calculation of share. Since then, we've been hanging out right about the same plus about a percentage point.

Got it. Thanks Carl.
