Icrew mobile seems the best option. I even had my FO schedule show up while on Gogo deadheading this morning, but it was gone when I landed. Must have been mid-run. I'm curious to see how close it is to my final schedule.

Perfect time to mention! If it works, you have one month out of a F/O career that you get to know almost as soon as captains!

I shall make no claim to my backdoor prowess. It may take a day or two to confirm the validity of this approach.

1. Open up a wide report for the current month.
2. Delete the file name, so that last remaining text for the URL in the address bar is "/PBSBidPackagesandAwards/"
3. Refresh the web page with the newly truncated address.
4. You have reached the file directory on the server.
5. Nothing posted yet for June, but I suspect it will appear here first.


I've tried a file search from the file manager search bar for ATLM88A_wide.pdf and several other reports, which only produced May files. Let's hope they get posted here before iCrew for the backdoor aficionados.

You seem to know your way around the backdoor.
You weren't an Eagle driver in a previous life, were you?
I kid, I kid.

No Eagle experience, but I was a computer geek in a previous life. I've also flown lots of trips with Female NYC New Hire FAs. Both provide a wealth of knowledge on the topic at hand.

The As are out via the backdoor described above. When you look at your schedules, just remember I was there first.

It appears the file naming convention includes the month for the June files. I suspect the previous tried and true method of changing the filename for the upcoming month will work for July. The June filter was made visible on the Crew Resources & Scheduling > Monthly Bid Awards page shortly after the files appeared in the file manager, so there wasn't a huge time advantage gained by the long approach posted above. But it does get you in FIRST...

If you were in a C+ seat you might be a unicorn, or you should play the lottery.
