Like the resv buckets. Makes senior reserve a good gig
I guess maybe an easier way to look at it is: Think like a computer.
0's and 1's, black or white.
There is no real way to fully explain to PBS exactly what you want.
I remember flying with a senior FO on the -er, he commuted out of seattle to ATL and could have held anything he wanted anytime he wanted it. His multiple preference qualifiers made his bid so complex that he flew nothing but bogota trips for 3 or 4 months. He commuted to a crappy 3 day worth nada, when he was able to hold rome or any german city he wanted during octoberfest.

That is a good plan. I'd perhaps add that we need to "production balance" the DCI flying into a forced sunset.
Our MEC has resisted, to the point of outright hostility, the notion that we should fly small jets. Jeesh, as I look at yet another displacement in a few weeks, it would be great to turn that internal mindset around.
I hate to say I agree with a Super Model (see Zoolander) but she's right!
Also, Tom Brady dosen't play Defense...there are 11, no wait, 12 men on the field who do that...
FLAG! Too many men on the feild!
But isn't that the Coaches fault?
And Scambo, check your PM's. Incomming.

Brazilian or not, she gets a fail on that one.

I don't believe managements motivation is a s sinister as you believe. For one, a few of the top guys weren't at Delta for C2K or the Comair strike. The issue is really related to appease financial types. All to often Employees and related expenses are viewed more the way the financial types look at "liabilities." And outsourced work or services are simply viewed as "operating expenses".

FA rumor alert. New retirement package with healthcare due out any day. Already a done deal.

Does anyone know if the "Preference Qualifiers" are an all or nothing deal? Suppose you want 1 or 2 day trips, reports after noon, block ins before noon, etc.
In order to be assigned a trip with "preference qualifiers" do they need to meet all of the qualifiers? Will it give the best trip that meets some qualifiers?
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about the Preference Qualifiers in the PCS, like if you are trying to WS/GS.
There are two deals with this, and it's a bit tricky....
If you go to the PCS menu, and then set your preference qualifers from that menu, then those preferences become GLOBAL, and they will be applied to any thing you do in the PCS.
If you go to the SLIP menu and enter date ranges (not specific trips), it will ask you if you want to use your global preferences, OR set another, which will ONLY be used by that request.
So, to answer your question, if you enter a WS/GS request, and set the qualfiers for only that request (either via globally or for that sepecific request), it will only give you those trips that meet ALL those requirements.
If you want relax your requirements a bit, you need to enter additional WS/GS requests, and then relax the preference qualifiers for each. Be sure to check the box that says "award only one preference, ignore the rest" unless you don't care how much it awards you (if you don't check the box, it will try to award from each request).
Hope this answers what I think you were asking....
