That is correct but when the CPA's expire they are returned and can be placed with a cheaper provider. I truly believe the writing was on the wall when we were purchased by Skywest Inc.

tell everyone senior to you that the bid window closes on the 22nd when it really closes on the 20th.

Allow single days off and bid all pairings before reserve if you are right on the edge. If you have a day off very late in the month it can help as it allows you to accept a 4 day starting the 1 or 2.

Also, make sure your personal credit threshold is set to the bottom of the window. You can just leave it at 0:00 and it will be adjusted to the bottom automatically.

IIRC, that won't help award a line. All that will do is not allow it to keep adding to you schedule to get above the TLV.

For example, the window is 70-100 with a 80 TLV. You get a schedule with 12 days of work, total credit is 71. It then will add a 2 day with 8.9 to bring you up to 79.9. Then it will add a 4 day worth 19 to bring you up to 98.9, above the TLV, schedule complete with 18 days of work instead of 12. If the personal TLV was set to 70, when it hit the 71 hours with 12 working days, it will complete the schedule then.
