That's bull$hit if you ask me. It's happened to my fiancee every time he had anything under 80 hours. This last bid he had 79:30 and they gave him a 2 day (on Easter of course) during the "transition period" that brought him up to almost 90:00. WTF is the point of PBS then? I think it's time for a union over there. Oh wait! Maybe he can get a hold of SAPA and they will take care of it. NOT!

the best part is when scheduling completely forgets about you and you end up not getting your 100 hours in time even after you call them 10 times to remind them you need to fly... well in their defense apparently their system isnt working

How does vacation time work with bidding and PBS? Is taking vacation time seniority based as well? And do you throw it in there for the month when you bid, or is there an advanced way to notify them?
Also...how much vacation time ya get at SKYW a year?
