Prefer afternoon flying? We built the schedule so every line has mixed start times, enjoy!
Prefer not to go to the east coast? We built the schedule so every line has some NY appreciation time!
You’re 100% at the mercy/whims of the people that construct the lines. To a lesser extent that’s true with PBS and individual trip construction but usually there’s enough of what you want in there it’s possible to get closer to what you want.
Getting three weeks off for one vacation isn’t worth having a terrible schedule the other 11 months of the year IMO. Talking to people who bid using PBS it seems like the only ones who really hate it are the ones who can’t figure out/don’t bother to figure out how to bid properly.

I hate line bidding. Want two random days off for life events? Good luck. There was one month where the number one in base couldn’t have snagged both days off I needed.

At 9E, they love giving a 3 day touching another 3 day without enough time to go home in between. They won't give hotel rooms to commuters either in this case.

Interesting
One (new) regional is going to offer new hires, qualed on type, more money than those already on property, and qualed on type. Honest question, but does anyone think this is cool? It’s actually part of a bonus program that may, or may not, happen.

Honest question, what in h€|| has “cool” to do with it?
