It really is not worth it to bid a line. With the ALV at 72.00 is just does not make any sense to me.
Now with the AE I will bid the 767 at the 77th percentile and then the ER. That way if an influx of people comes in senior to us or leaves junior to us I am protected.

Provides a frame of reference to measure the differences by after the merger.

If you want Saturdays off or else try a reserve line that gives you that, enter Saturdays off as your preference in PBS followed by Else Reserve. That way if it can't give you all Saturdays off it will dump you to reserve.

Also you may have vacation, or training next month. It will fill you up that way as well. But yes in a non-holiday month it can unstack to the 60% (I think) I know it is to the 50% in a holiday month.

Basically when the computer gets to the end of a run and there is a given day or set of days that has too many trips for the reserve pool to cover, the computer will go back and assign trips in inverse seniority order to us to get down to an acceptable amount of uncovered (open time) trips on a given day or set of days.
Really upsets the guys in the 50-60% range in December because they are always unstacked and never see it coming.
Basically unless you are above the 50% you can have your preferences overridden so that the company meets required manning levels.
It happened the first weekend of Aug too. (Last weekend before all of the kiddos went back to school) Lots of mid to junior line holders were unstacked.

Well buck. I just looked at the reasons report and you did not bid. That with vacation gave you two four days over the weekend. Not bad, pick up a trip and make it a good month. Too bad there are not a lot of trips later in the month.
