The PBS Basics, Gouge, Notepads are worth deep reading (some on DL Net/Crew Resources tab on left, more under Info Tab in PBS). Max Credit has some tricks associated with it, but it certainly is not the tool for concentrating lots of credit in a portion of the month. It only applies to the total credit for the bid period, and then with some caveats.

For what it sounds like you are trying to accomplish, I like Average Daily Credit and a range or list of Depart On dates. Depending what fleet you're on, you may want to target trip length too. Something like:

Award Pairings if ADC >5:45 if departing on 01MAY-07MAY if pairing length >4 days.

Use the pairing search function to screen for ADC and departure dates to see what's feasible. You might find a change to ADC>5:40 vs. ADV>5:45 opens up a bunch of contenders.

What's the advantage to bidding reserve in a month with vacation? I haven't done reserve in 9 years, not sure if it'd be worth it.

Anyone else having issues with the analyzer on the new PBS app?

Doesn't seem to show any trips when looking at the filtered and preferred rotations.

The analyzer is working fine for me, are you still having issues?



There have be LOTS of notepads, etc...put out that the Desktop App would no longer be available. Your options are the old web UI and the new Webapp. If you use a 3rd party provider, they're unsure of how it will work.
