Can you not sign in anywhere you have cell phone coverage to call crew tracking?

Not really, because (a) you call crew scheduling not tracking and (b) they are really there for problems/emergencies, not routine check-ins.

Crew scheduling owns you until you sign in for the trip.

You can sign by calling them if you are at the airport.

Crew tracking owns you/your rotation AFTER you sign in.

Roger. The only time I ever called to check in over the phone, crew tracking did it for me no questions asked. Other than knowing they own me after sign in, I've never been instructed on who is responsible for what. Pilot Support Center, Chef Pilot Support Center, Chef Pilot Office, Crew Scheduling, Crew Resources, Crew Tracking...I usually just guess (often incorrectly) where to start with the issue of the day.

PBS question. If I bid a specific rotation and later in the bid put in a avoid that would filter that trip would it filter it or award the trip and filter other ones?

I believe you should be awarded the specific rotation if it is available to you. The avoids should only affect trips or preferences below the avoids.

I used to call to sign in, but lately it takes FOREVER to get a scheduler.

I just wait for them to call now and kindly let them know I'm at the airport.
