Makes sense. We talked about it a few years ago. So did Branson.

Hey guys,

When do they post the bid packages for CQ? I need to bid for March and don't see anything yet.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. I think it opens on the 25th and closes on the 29th. The results are usually published within a few days after that.

You bid in PBS for the training pattern you want. Check on the crew resources page to verify the dates above, but I'm pretty sure it's right. There's a link near the bottom of the crew resources page detailing the entire "Bidding for CQ" process if you need specifics for your bid.

Don't forget that if your schedule was awarded over 80 (which was frequently), you were already into the 1.5.

Also don't forget, any time you picked up during the month that put you over 80, paid the 1.5. In the DAL equivalent, anything you picked up on a WS that was over 80 was 1.5. No waiting by the phone or sweating a last minute commute.

Also don't forget there were premium trips, like a DAL GS, that paid 1.5, even if you were under 80. If you were OVER 80 already, the multipliers stacked, so you got 2.25.

There are parts of the the DAL contract I like better, but the open time/premium flying isn't one of them.

Isn't the old story something like this: You go to a base and there are two C-5s and one of them is on jacks. What does this mean? The base only has one set of jacks.

Anyone else getting the advertisements below the first response of each page. It also says if you are a register user this advertisement will go away. Not so much!!!
