Reason I ask is that most times during the day I could make checkin much less than 12 hours, but for a few hours in the evening, I'd need the full 12 to make it. I thought about limiting the hours they could call me, and the time to report via the preference qualifiers, but this could unnecessarily limit a GS if it came up mid-morning.

Anyone have any firsthand experience with this?

The issue with a GS, YS on reserve is unless it is on your first day of reserve you do not have the required look back rest requirements to fly the trip.

Ok. This is the last question. I promise. Am I supposed to be able to get into the PBS system right now?

New,

If it's your first time logging into PBS make sure you enter your 9 digit PPR # as your password. You can change it after you log on.

Also, even if you did this once already but it was for a practice bid, do it again. Worked for me...

College football is a scam. I like to watch it, but there is NO national champion or championship game. There are 5 undefeated teams this year. Texas, Alabama, Boise State, Texas Christian, and Cincinnati. They all deserve a shot. I don't buy into strength of schedule crap. That is an excuse the sports writers use to defend their broken system. Utah was the only undefeated team last year, but the writers refused to call them national champions. The system is a joke.

Yup. That being said.. Roll Tide.. and Go Bearcats!

Amazing how many people don't get the joke!


Reminded me of the old question: Do you know what they call the guy that graduates at the bottom of his medical school class? A: Doctor.

Do the math on a 5 day reporting at 11 am on day 1 and getting back at 7 pm day 5 and it will come clear to you what the companies issues would be.

Personally I want to go back to 5 hour VM. 12 hour BOG trips with 2 all nighters just plain suck.
