Delta PBS/ Shadow Bidder??????
So, I'm finishing up training towards the end of this month and for the month of July (first 11 days), PBS has already awarded me SHADOW.
I've done a word search in the PBS Guide as well as the help prompt on the PBS website trying to figure out what this really means.
Does anyone have a guess or a clue?
(I've not put in for any MIL Leave and I should hold a line for the month of July based on projected lines)
Thanks

I don't know what Shadow is but if you don't get an answer here try posting on the DALPA forum and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Thanks guys for the help.
I posted the same question on the DALPA forum and got this answer.
"A shadow period is placed on your line as a placeholder for the OE period. The days marked shadow are where your OE may be placed and the length of the shadow period is determined from an agreement reached in the staffing grievance.
You will bid normally and any trips awarded by PBS in the shadow period will have a "snapshot" taken for pay purposes and then returned to the PBS pot to be awarded to a junior pilot. These trips will then show on your line but you do not fly them as you are not qualified (need your OE). You will either be paid for these trips or your OE--whichever is greater. A good technique is to bid so that PBS awards as many trips as possible in this shadow period. Expect a comm. piece on this soon."
