The Bidding Overview page has a list of instructions. The link below that, Training Schedule, has a list of dates available for your month.
Make sure you know if you're doing R12 or R24. If you're not sure, HI*E will pull up your Quals page in DECS and you can see what you did last year. If this is your first AQP recurrent, they can start you on 12 or 24, so you'll have to call training to find out what you're bidding for. PM me if you need the training department phone number.
Hope this helps.

Also is going to be at the end of the month. The first pay check is just half of your garanteed.

I have never been denied a turn back request when I requested a specific trip. That solves the per diem issue. The only other problem is most trips are very low time trips picked apart for OT.

You won't magically get good schedules, but you will lose the ability to DTS vacation, get transition conflicts, and there will be substantially less OT for the guys that pick up OT. Please, talk to a scheduling rep and have them explain things to you before spewing more ignorant statements. PBS would be a HUGE concession.
I keep hearing about garbage schedules and don't see it. I'm off for 7 days straight now and my May schedule has 14 days off with 80 hours with the option of picking up a lot of OT at 200%. I'm off half the month!
