Piedmont's flow is real. I've done contract compliance work for two airlines over the course of a decade now, and I can safely say that flow letter is effing solid.
I've expressed to our negotiating committee that I think a flow is an important aspect of our next contract, becuase it would help to solidify our new hire "show rate" once upgrade times inevitably stagnate. That helps us maintain and continue to grow our business. I hope the Association pursues a flow or preferential interview with UAL or AA--it costs nothing, and it gives all of us a lot of career-planning assurances, if it's on the level with the deal the wholly-owneds have secured for themselves.
I would trade any pay raise in any new contract for the deal PDT has. Not joking. Just knowing that you're going to have a place at a legacy regardless of interview performance or experience or anything else is like having a box full of solid gold buried in your backyard. It costs nothing but it means everything.

That said, here's this for fun:
PHX-DSM 997 miles
LAX-XNA 1188 miles
LAX-YVR 939 miles
LAX-YEG 1180 miles
LAX-IAH 1195 miles
LAX-SAT 1049 miles
IAD-SAT 1181 miles
IAD-DFW 1015 miles
IAH-YEG 1611 miles
I'm probably missing a few, especially from DFW and IAH. Hardly "regional" though, you know?
I'm with you on the showtime, although that bit me in the butt last month when PHX-DSM getting in at around 5 am popped up on my schedule several times.

Is there a way to bid in PBS based on show time and certain over nights?

"Award Pairings If Average Daily Credit > 008:00 If Pairing Length Between 1 days And 3 days"
This is just an example of what I use in my schedule. Hope this helps.

I think I get it. So just go in and use an IF function awarded pairings if show time is <12:00. Because the daily credit is only referring to duty length correct?

Whops never mind, I think using chrome was the issue to some of my troubles as well.
