Last month I put in
RA
RB
Avoid RA carryover
Avoid RB carryover
I am pretty junior and got RA and yes I prefer RA to RB. On practice bid this month I got combo of RB and RA. We'll see how it turns out. Remember that unless you stipulate no carryover, it means you are ok with it.

So, is that written in the computer equivalent of black sharpie in every pilot's number one input?
It sounds like whoever you're talking to is well informed, up to speed on the CBA and the details of the SLR Working Group. Gee, I sure hope it's in the company's best interest for me to get double DH, single departure RFO trips that average 9 CH or more per day.
That would be awesome.

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm getting the same thing. I can get to the SLG Crew Reports. Clicking on any of the three options gives me another window that pops up, but it's blank. Nothing in it. I tried turning off pop-up blocker, but no help.

Was trying to access on my iPhone originally, turned off pop up blocker and still did not work. Switched to iPad and it worked.
Nice to know what and why you are holding even if it can change. Will they continue to do these practice runs each month or just doing it while we learn new system?
Since it is easy for them to run this now verses doing it manually why don’t they move the close date to Monday afternoon so we know two days earlier!

Well, that certainly sounds credible to me. Especially since you were told that.

If only it would ever work in a pilot's favor!
I was told the same thing by Futures, by Contract Enforcement, and by one of the Grievance Committee members.
The definition of Requests/Preferences in Section 2 allows the company to disregard any and all of your preferences to make the schedule fit. I went back and forth with FX and Alpa over this and everyone said it was legal.
Especially watch out if there are a number of trips that work over the same days or weeks. They will force you to work, i.e. pre-award, a trip that they need you to during that time and then run your preferences. Completely disregarded my days off preferences and trips that I could have held that went to a junior pilot.

I can't believe the NC agreed to a PBS system for VTO's that no one had had seen the details of because they had not been negotiated!
Wait, it's the FedEx MEC, oh, I guess I can believe it.
And they want us to trust them with our pensions???
Seriously, if this is the company's way to get us to like PBS, I predict it will fail miserably.
