The only reason I ask is because first class is showing 19 open. Don't want to be left behind because coach is oversold. Thanks.
Two weeks is an eternity when making specific flight plans as a non-rev. Yes that is what it means, it seems on certain routes there are a lot of no-shows/misconnects etc.

The fact that there are 23 unsold seats two weeks out is a good start though (especially with 19 more in Biz unsold).

Good luck.

I just noticed I have 2 payback days showing on my time card. Woo-hoo! Now what are my options and how are they best spent. I'm on reserve for the forseeable future.

If you think you will bid a line before they transform into vacation days, save them. Use them to drop a couple of high time one-day trips or a high time 2-day.

If a line is not in your future, I recommend using them before they become vacation. They will be worth 4 and change on reserve but only 3 and change as vacation.

Default PCS form question

When filling out Swap wit pot form on pcs if you want to drop one long trip and pick up two shorter ones do the trips requesting to pickup as adds go on line one horizontally or as 1 &2 vertically? Thanks

Put the trips you want to pick up on one line horizontally; each line is numbered and processed separately.

Well, we have no 1-2 day trips on the 330 but it would be nice to drop it in the middle of a 4 day block of reserve. So is it just processed as a personal drop? Or do I have to call scheduling? Also, when do they convert to vacation days?

Sorry... I don't do these much.
