Shouldn’t the PBS Line Counts estimates for March be out by now?

Didn't even realize those were published until just now. I've always just used the RLL LIM in the bid packet, which appear to be the same as the line count estimates.

Thought the RLL limit on the bid package was the same thing just in a different uniform.

No, there are not. The PBS line counts estimates are out now. NYC320A RLL is 117, the PBS estimate is 125. Close, but not exact.

How do you utilize this data? The estimated vs actual seem to be all over the place.

Best guess, what’s the trend. Like everything else here, gather the data you can, make your best guess and hope...

Well that's weird because the bid packages say "RLL and projected regular line count are the same value." Why the difference with PBS line counts?

Here’s a question I should know the answer to but don’t.

I have a regular line trip that ends on March 1st. Last leg (on March 1st) is worth 10:25. If I bid a reserve line for March, what happens if I’m rerouted into March 2nd? I know about losing any trip credit and the 10:25 would apply to reserve guarantee for March, but can I “protect” the 10:25 by bidding an X day on March 2nd (and get paid the 10:25 above reserve guarantee in March in this instance? Trying to decide whether to bid a regular or reserve line. Thanks,

Denny
