Careful on the wording here so as to not generate a confusing and false mandate. There is zero obligation of any kind to check your schedule on your day off.
Period.
Full stop.
The 3PM thing is really a 9 hours prior thing, which is really a relic of a holdover from the previous contract that's still in there. Basically all that says is that's when THEY have to have anything earlier than noon finalized and on your line. If they do that by 3PM (or whenever 9 hours prior is, if its an irregular partial payback day, etc) then they can take noon down to as early as 10AM. But never earlier.
Therefore its cool on your end to get a 3PM-ish heads up as to what you'll be doing, but you absolutely do NOT have to check it at or prior to that time. If you want, you can be radio silent/blackout til midnight, as long as you can then be in position to do something as early as 10AM.

Any experience in changing interview dates? I am not certain I am ready for an interview coming up. Still several weeks out and maybe just nerves. But who would want to go into an interview and screw this up?

I don't have personal experience with it, but I've read a couple stories on the inter webs where people had conflicts or personal issues and called and were able to change without any issue. That said, if you've got several weeks to go you've probably got as much prep time as many successful candidates have had total. Check out RST if you haven't already. Good luck!

Relax. You're ready. They already want to hire you so go to the interview and just be yourself.

Is there a way to see monthly bid awards from last year?
I'm trying to gauge if it's realistic to expect/get Xmas off in my category based on historical data.
Gracias.

The data is out there, it would be nice if there was an archive section to see all the old AEs and PBS awards. I'd really like to be able to view load data from years past when I try to plan my family vacations.

Look on the category lists for the half dozen or so pilots around your seniority. Write down there employee numbers and then go view their schedules for last DEC.
