I’ve proffered carryover trips both MU and TPU...no problem.

You can proffer, you just can’t drop it.

You can’t drop it until open time is released.

Never done the SLG thing before but trying it out next month. So here is my question. If I just list preferences, they will be built based on that and I don’t have to list specific trips and reserve blocks? And I put those in the morning on the iPad but now the app isn’t working? Do you have to use the app or can you get there from PFC, I couldn’t find a link. Thanks.. Fingers crossed..

You can put in preferences or specific trips.
Easiest way is to select “links” on the right side of PFC homepage and go from there.
I’d recommend a webinar if you have the time

Thank you.....

When and how do I see the practice bids?

Where do I find a webinar? All I saw about SLG in secure locker went way over my head..

It takes a snapshot of your preferences at noon on Friday, so make sure you have your selections in by then. You’ll see the results later in the afternoon usually by 5 pm local Memphis time. Just go into the SLG and click on ‘Reports’ and it will show the results.

The practice to me seems kind of useless unless you’re in the top maybe 10-20%. I’ve done the SLG almost every month since last spring and I’m in the 25-35% range and my final results never look anything at all like my practice bid results, and that’s with me making little to no changes.

Word of advice. I’d suggest putting specific trips you want and then the generic preference. I know you’re a local guy, so say if you want to do AM out/backs and just put the generic choice then you’re going to possibly get a crappy one that has an 0100 show time when there are maybe others that show a few hours later. That happened to me and I then started listing the individual trips to try and avoid the earlier show times. I end up with 50 plus inputs, but it seems to work.

Highly recommend the webinar. It is on PFC on right side of the age down by the Pizza Parties :D. They are every month Thurs and Fri prior to the practice.

Thanks for all the help. Just got off phone with a buddy that started doing this a few months ago.. Between y’all’s help and his, I am getting smarter and feel better..

I would skip the webinars and just come back and ***** about the crappy line you got next week.

Why the webinars and why only specific times. What if someone’s not available when the webinars are on? Is there a reason they just don’t publish a set of directions? Here’s how you enter a bid, valid inputs, here’s how the system processes the inputs, etc.
How about a truly transparent, “nuts and bolts” breakdown of how the system works, maybe some screen shots in an old fashioned PDF that I can read any time I want. Or not. :confused:

That also exists on the SLG home page.

All that information is there on the SLG page. Also, the webinar provides an opportunity for Q&A. But it would be nice if they had a recording for anyone to listen to at their leisure.

Thanks. I've seen what's there on the SLG page. I guess I was looking more for how the system processes the inputs and builds the lines. There's so much rumor and opinions based on word of mouth, personal experience, etc. that are inaccurate, it would be nice to have a clear explanation from the planners.

Figuring this out..l. New question why can’t I see reasons report.. Did finally get it to open on Firefox but not on company iPad, Edge, or IE... Best IT department on the planet.. How about checking being down yesterday.. And CRS, “We can’t really do anything either so just give me you’re employee number and help code...”

Pop up blocker?

Same issue for me on iPad Safari, menu for reports wouldn’t show. Went with Chrome, all menus functioned appropriately. I’ve heard Puffin also works.

Makes sense but you would think shouldn’t be an issue on the Company iPad.. Any idea how to turn off or allow? I appreciate all the help.. Never thought I would be playing the VTO game but the removal of so many reserve lines, I just been watching too many junior to me sitting B reserve that I gotta get on that program..

Has never worked on company iPad for me.

Ok. Thanks.. Cause that would make too much sense.. Seeing how they created an app which is really just a shortcut.. :eek: 15 years here and I never thought I would need the new guys to teach me how to bid. Thank god they are younger and smarter...

There is a notice on PFC. “SLG on iPad” that says menu options are not compatible with iOS 12.2.2
