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.
Thanks. I definitely need to study those docs.

Default Bid with vacation

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.

Go to the Crew Resources and scheduling page -> PBS Help & Resources -> PBS reserve pay calculator (at the bottom).

Input the Month, Year, ALV and if you get an extra reserve day or not. Then put the number of days of vacation you have this month in the appropriate container. At the bottom it will tell you how many X days you get and you can also see your pay...which will be higher than Reserve guarantee.

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.
