Did you enjoy the tour of Rainier Beach? I love that the tracks divert so far from direct in order to take in that " garden spot." Never have been able to get a glimpse of actual beach passing through. Named by the same folks who brought us ocean-front property in Arizona!

Default PBS DA issue

Anybody else having an issue with the PBS DA? I usually cut and paste my previous month bid into the current month. The DA is only showing my bids from 2016, nothing from 2017. Anybody else having this problem?

Here's a free tip...bid from the default bid section. It'll retain it from month to month and all you have to do is make the changes you need each month.*

*best technique if you bid generally the same thing each month. Prefer off days is usually all I have to change each month.

Great advice. Never have to worry about deadlines. I've never used anything but the default bid.

I'm trying this for the first time this month. To confirm, even if I don't upload it, it will take my default bid? I've saved my default but I haven't "submitted" it and I'm curious if that will work for my new month to month routine... Thanks!

The way I understand it is ... your Monthly Bid takes precedence over your Default Bid. To avoid confusion I would clear anything on your Monthly Bid and just adjust -- and Submit -- your Default Bid going forward.

The Default bid works just like the Current Bid template. The only difference is it'll retain the full bid month to month and will submit the bid each month on your behalf. If you have Prefer off day bids with dates from previous months, PBS will skip those and attempt to build you a schedule based on everything else. Outside of that, if you change the Default bid and click submit just like you would for the Current bid, it acts the same. Think of the Default bid as a Current bid "with benefits."

Don't know of any stand-alone howgozit app but the latest company and ALPA comms regarding the upcoming HTML flight plans have examples exactly like JB's (ALPA IT guru) website. I use that all the time and it's awesome.

Unfortunately, he (JB) has put so many tools into the HTML flight plan, my mental math has all but disappeared and my ability to find stuff quickly on the paperwork is rapidly going too.

Default June Bid Package Blows

So the ATL M88 bid package for June is terrible. 88% of the trips are 4 days long!! 0% for 1 & 2 day trips.

Where is the MOAB? I need a new plane with better options. Bye-bye seniority!!
