Airline Pilot Central Forums

There is a 180+ page PBS guide on helloJb under the PBS tab.

Read it, learn it, know it and you can grab schedules you should never be able to hold because guys senior to you didn't read it.

I looked through the pbs manual on Comply365. Don't know if it's the same one. Seemed pretty easy when you follow the steps that give you.

I used the Pbs bidding program that you install on your PC. I had to go find an old Windows laptop that I hadn't used in years.

This is not necessary. The system will read priority left to right on each line, so just make sure you list your preferred days off in priority order. I believe that there is a limit to the max number of bid line requests that the system allows, so if your bid is very complex, you will want to condense your days off requested to a single line.

Not true if I understood the manual correctly. A reserve bid does NOT go into denial mode if all your days off requests you made cannot be honored. So when it goes back to try to build a reserve line for you it disregards the whole line at once.

You have to put each day off on a separate line.
On a normal pairings bid it will do denial mode and disregard days off from right to left on your line

I can't say I know what it says in the manual, but I speak from experience. I put my day off requests on a single line, and I routinely get the "partially honored" bid award, so it does not disregard the entire line when it cannot be fully honored.

I just bumped into a guy on the hiring team and he said "only the candidates that show up at a conference such as Obap or wia will be considered this round" they supposedly want to meet people face to face first. Is that what you guys are hearing too?

I don't know if it is required. I do know this: they want people who want to be there. If you want to work for them then why wouldn't you go see them at every opportunity?

I'm in training with a great guy who does OBAP and interviews. I'll put it this way, he said "we open the window for WAI and OBAP right now, and that's it". Draw your own conclusions...

Hey man thanks for heads up. I actually did call the faa, and they asked me for a request number . So I called sterling back and they weren't able to provide me with one.
So at this point I have no idea what to do, except for call JB hr

Thanks for the information. So they're still considering folks they saw at this last WAI?

Is there any real advantage using the PC program? I've never used it.
