Um... Not Sure.. My first recurrent under the "new" syllabus was pretty good.

Default Bidding Question

I'm trying to bid for a couple of trips on the May bid package that start at the end of April but PBS won't allow the bid. PBS says the rotation numbers are invalid. I've also tried to bid for the start days (Apr 29th) but that is invalid as well. PBS call center doesn't open for a couple of days.

Any words of wisdom for a lineholder newbie (and that by the skin of my teeth)?

Cheers.

What you are seeing in the bid package are called "carry-over trips" and actually exist in the April bid period. They are changes to the original trips in the April bid package. If the trip doesn't START in May, you can't bid it in that monthly bid.

Thanks for the words. That's what I thought but hoping not to hear...

Tsquare,
You totally missed the point. We were in the throws of getting bumped from one A/C to another for one reason or another (for me, not of my choosing during the 2001-2003 time frame) and WERE NOT IN AN A/C LONG ENOUGH TO GET RECURRENT TRAINING. WE WERE IN FULL UP INITIAL/TRANSITION COURSES. I personally was in 4 different seats in a period of 2 years. I would have LOVED to have gone through recurrent instead of full courses. FWIW, I feel the same way as you do about the current training. It sure was nice to actually train and learn vs "head on a chopping block" the whole time. The evaluation portion is quite reasonable as well. Dare I say the easiest checkride I've ever had.

Please don't take my non-response as a non-response, but I'm not responding.

Default No, not really.

Not really, just making the point that DTW had the nicest of the former NWA pilot lounges. I do still think the DTW pilot facilities are pretty good and are definitely better than LAX and MSP. Doesn't mean I want to go there or spend any time in ANY of the lounges either.

Ok you'all, finished my 3 day ER conversion class 2 weeks ago. How long can I expect to wait for TOE? I am way too lazy to call the OE planning desk-that takes effort.
