I used chrome browser on surface. Had to update app as instructed. Couldn't see previous month bids to copy and paste. It was impossible to scroll without keyboard. Overall a very painful process.

Yep and use edge to do your CQ but don't forget icrew doesn't support edge per it's big pop up if you try to use it. Mel Brooks couldn't wrote stuff like this.

What happened to the rumored new 757 flights to Europe?

What rumored flights? There are not that many flights the 757 can do between the US and Europe. CDG to RDU did not work out so well. We also have a limited number of airframes set up for international and they are being fully used with the lie flat transcons in the schedule.

Anyone know what the longest stretch of reserve days you can request in PBS and actually get it awarded? I'm trying to plan a trip and need the maximum number of days off.

I see that the bid packet has 99 days as the maximum amount of reserve days in a row, but would 117 allow me to bid for a 16 day stretch of reserve to get the rest of the month off?

No problem. During the month, you'll be assigned appropriate 30-hour rest periods to keep you legal.

Yep, no problem at all, I've had friends on reserve get three consecutive weeks off by frontloading one month and backloading the next. When I was on reserve I typically bid 8 day blocks which *usually* resulted in an extra day off (as long as you don't get assigned a trip with a 30+ hr overnight).

That's what they say. I haven't gotten it to work in the last couple months.
I just use the PBS old website. That newfangled app thingy is a bit tricky. At least for an old dog like me.
