You also need CP or CS intervention to change a back-end deviation after booking it, but the pilot has total control to change with front end. Of course with the caveat of seat availability. I always get "C" when booking in Company Business myself. On the rare occasions it has not been available, I choose another city pair, my original DH, or the Radisson for a try another day. It's a bit different using the XCM menu to book the way home, but if availability showed under the Company Business field, you'll get "C" on the back end too. There's no time limit for booking the front end. Check you PBS award, book the deviation. For PCS and reserve action, obviously the timeframe could be short and seats might be tight. A call to local ops in NRT (known as "inflight" there) can help iron out any seat issues you may have for an outbound deviation and grease the shore pass/gen dec details.

Either trip puts me in the LCW, there are no 30 hour conflicts, etc..etc.. It shows it was originally awarded to a guy junior to me in a "coverage award from shadow bid". Which I will fully admit I don't understand the shadow bid stuff. But since it isn't a spillover trip, was in the trip pack, and was available for pick up....I'm not sure how it ended up on somebody's schedule who has less seniority.

I also tried iCrew from the Crew Resources page...same result.

It just started happening a couple of days ago. Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this?

If the system screwed up (which is rare, but does happen) the PBS Bid Inquiry is the only thing that triggers a contractual remedy.

"A call to ALPA Scheduling" isn't the process provided to us--a PBS Bid Inquiry is.
