All of this is true if they decide they're going to follow the PWA. Put in for a YS last week, and designated one trip (3 day) I wanted. Got a different 3 day trip, and saw the trip I wanted go to a guy jr to me four minutes later who hadn't put in for a YS.
I called and spoke to the scheduler, who after putting me on hold for 8 minutes said he didn't know why; said they must have read the numbers wrong. His comment was they try to "accommodate" the requests and that it was too late to fix it.
Seems this happens fairly often enough that there should be greater transparency to the process.

Question, coming from someone from way on high bidding down to reserve.
If on the mighty 88 if the min (consecutive) reserve days on is 3, does that apply to the beginning of the month? Can someone have reserve on the 1st and 2nd, and then have the 3rd off? Or does that reserve days on group have to be 3 and be on reserve for the 1st through 3rd?
Thanks

There are two forms of Yellow Slips:
First there is the lowering of your RAW by 15 pts. This is for ON Day flying only.
Second is in the PCS, SLIP REQUEST
It is preferences to fly on OFF DAYS. This will tell the scheduler that you are willing to fly on your off day for regular credit and no X day payback.
You could get the five day trip with the second Yellow since two of the days are off days.

Like Slow states call ALPA, they will look and see if there were any FAR conflicts et al that forced the schedulers not to honor your requests. If not you will get paid the greater of the two trips.

These are the reasons, among others, I quit bidding reserve. Reserve rules need lots of work in the next contract.
