The one thing about senior pilots bidding reserve for time off... you don't know what the buckets will be and they dont have to say until the last day of the previous month. I can assure you the union will fight for as high as possible, at least from what I've gathered in emails, so if you like that great if not... I guess that's who is calling resources complaining.
I'll be interested to see what happens with the buckets this next time around. |

The bucket system is nothing more than a tie breaker. There are still a bunch of random variables that determine who gets assigned trips. Some of the most senior pilots have the highest raw scores while some of the most junior pilots have the lowest raw scores. The raw bucket only breaks a tie so if you are senior bidding reserve with the hopes of not flying good luck, you will need it.

...the complex Next Gen. system... ...NextGen is seen as essential... I wonder if it would be cheaper to just fund one instead of all three? :confused: |

I was fishing around the roster reports, trying to get back to mine (dang pgup and pgdn buttons) and I saw this on someones bid:
Warning: You have a Start Next in your last bid group. If the Start Next in this bid group triggers, PBS will jump to the system generated bid groups below which contain no preferences. The system generated bid groups will cause PBS to first try to build any regular line than try to build any reserve line if it is unable to build a regular line. See PBS Notepad 36 for more details.. I've got to hand it to the ALPA PBS and/or Navtech folks, smart to add some helpful hints. Disclaimer: This warning was added to the Navtech reasons report by Delta and the ALPA PBS Committee. These are advisory only. We hope these alerts are helpful, but you will have to judge as to whether or not this warning is applicable and requires a change to your bidding strategy. w3 And this is the warning that keeps me from down bidding off the 88/90 to the 737 or A320: Warning: You are junior. You were unstacked into everything you didn't want. Next time, be more senior. Or just don't bid because you wasted your time. We will see you on the first day of the month, you will be at the top of the RUO. We will abuse you. Have fun. See Seniority List and Category List for more details.. |

Do I get the job? So will your 737 type before you apply. It's almost equal nowadays and remind them of that if you decide not to get your type beforehand. 10 points to the first SWA interviewee that makes a joke about killing kittens. 80? Can you apply again just to go on the interview and say that you sacrificed kittens prior to your 737 ride? |
