I'd like to swap a spillover trip that has 10 more hours in January than the trip I currently have.

The problem is that if I get it and they use the time of the new trip to factor legal lines for January, it will jack up my January bid.

What trip would they use to figure my legal line value; the one I had when bidding closed on the 12th or the trip I have when they do the actual run (which I would imagine would be sometime tomorrow or the next day).

Thanks in advance.

The way PBS works is, on the first day they spend the entire day taking checking who's got training and vacation in the next month, then they snapshot of your line, as it exists at that time.

THAT snapshot of your line Dec line is what is used for trip awards in Jan. That is also why all PCS (Swaps/drops/white slips) are frozen for a couple days until the bids are done.

If you then swap for a trip that conflicts with your Jan line, the conflicting trip in Jan will be dropped, not sure how quickly they will see the conflict and drop it, but you might be able to PCS something else to un-phuck yourself before they do.

Thanks, Timbo.

I'll wait til the awards. (I'm better at phuckin up my schedule than un-phucking it).

Anyone else have their Jan schedule show up in Icrew Mobile this morning. (I'm DTW717B).

Seemed strange and early but they're trips I bid so I assume it's correct.

Anyone have an idea on what the plan is for the NWA 787 orders? I assume DL still holds those as options. A350..is that a replacement for the 744?

Waiting on a bus is just that depressing. I like walking to my car.

Okay...I talked to the ALPA scheduling bubba and he figured it out, and it was a bonehead error on my part.

When I put the swap in, I listed the trips to add vertically instead of horizontally. With a vertical listing, PCS sees the request as an "either or" which, in this case, was a net drop. I needed to list the trips next to each other which translates to adding both instead of just one.

Hopefully that reminder can save someone some angst.

When you go to log into DLNet, at the Bottom there is a link that says, "Help" It will guide you through the steps, no login info needed. (at least that's what it says). At the very bottom of that page is a link to initiate a chat.
