I don't mean 20 days off total for the month. I just mean that i could get 20 days off just from my vacation...with that I could work 4 days or so giving me another 6 days off for the month. totaling 26 days off. I know captains and flight attendants that can take off an entire summer.

With PBS you really are gambling that scheduling will create whats best for you not the company. At Least with a line bidding system you know what your possibilities are..

From what I heard Mesa has set some options in PBS to limit us to only getting 11 days off a bid (the minimum). Anyone else hear this?

The mock bidding was a joke. Both round 1 and 2 it gave me the exact opposite of what I told it I wanted

dont no about the mesa side but freedoms pairings are so horrible that its almost impossible to have >11 days off and get into the window.
the Mock 1 they changed the window from 70 to 66 because they could only build a few lines to 70. they only build 4 day trips and only a few were over 17.5 hrs (4X17.5=70)
pbs will work much, much better if they could build some decent pairings. trip rigs anyone? anyone
