You just said you finished your bid. Well then you are golden because it won't let you bid a line that is out of base.

While this is mostly true it is not always 100% accurate. They try to spread the line numbers out so that no two bases with the same equipment share line numbers. Example: DFW 145 lines start with #401 where as ORD 145 lines start with #101. If an ORD pilot were to bid line #401 it would reject the entry.

However this doesn't always work: In January line numbers 301-341 are shared between the DFW and ORD 175 bid packets. If a pilot was transferring but someone forgot to move them in sabre they could bid for the 1/2/3 day trips in the beginning of the ORD bid packet without realizing they were actually still bidding the last few DFW lines. Since the line numbers are the same sabre would never generate an error message.

Thanks everyone - I had no idea that different bases had (mostly) unique line numbers. The system took my bids, so I guess everything is good to go!

Anyone get bonus payout yet? I know it is a couple days early but thought I would see. Nothing here so far.

If you're on reserve it's a must to learn a few RES commands that you just can't do any other way easily. Last I heard the company had a habit of assigning more airport standby's than they had recliners in the crew rooms. The easiest way to check is through RES. You can pull up all the airport standby's assigned and just count how many are really there compared to how many chairs are available. 9 square feet per chair was ruled insufficient by an arbitration, so they can't cram them in side to side.... the same arbitrator did not specify the square footage that would be okay. In any event, when they have too many assigned, people get to go home early.

The one issue that wasn't tested was the Co-domicile. If you can be assigned to flights at either airport; then why are they allowed to double up on the reserves? If it's being treated as one base, then there should only be one set of ready reserves. What they've done is essentially say if we open multiple crew rooms in one base and stuff recliners in there we can have an unlimited number of airport standby's.

Last bonus came out on the 25th, the one before on the 22nd. No one really knows when this one will hit exactly..

Any rumors of a vacancy/displacement bid in the near future?
