I'm an L-UAL guy that will be ending long-term mil-leave either this summer, or next. I know which domicle/base I want, but I'm trying to determine the fleet I want.

I know how to use CCS to see the vacancy bids, and the rough percentage of where I would stand.

I wanted to look at monthly bids to see where the trips were going on various fleets, and what the composition of those bids were like. I'll be a commuter, so I like long duty-bids, as it minimizes the commutes.

I can do that for L-UAL aircraft, but not L-CAL.

Is there some way to see monthly bids for L-CAL aircraft as an L-UAL guy, and/or vice-versa?

Log into CCS, select "PBS", when main PBS page loads click "CAT Award Reports" tab.

Can you get into CCS while on mil leave?

Dice: Yes, I can.

Joe, thanks...I'd never opened PBS before.

I'm still taking baby-steps and learning as I go, but that helped a lot!

hmm, I'll give it a try. Is the login ID & company password the same as your skynet login?

It's labelled. First one is your existing company (skynet/flying together) Password. This requires a number and a special, I think, and I believe, more than 8 characters.

Second is CCS. MUST BE 8 characters, NO SPECIALS.

I just used my skynet password as the starting point, trimmed it to 8, and got rid of the specials. Next time we update, the first 8 of both passwords will be the same!

Make sure you put a "U" before your File Number/Employee number.

When I go to CCS, as instructed, I see a schedule that shows where and WHEN a pilot is working, on the CAL side.

But when I use the link (not in CCS) for L-UAL, it just shows the segments. I also don't understand the calendar to the right.

Is there some way to see the CAL format on the UAL side?

Did you click "CAT Award Reports" under the PBS tab? I can look at all the schedules from all the bases when I click it. If you can't, I'd be happy to e-mail you the ones you are looking for.

Is there a way to get a current system seniority list? The last seniority list I saw was the ISL. Thanks!

Joe:

You were right...on my ipad, when I open the CAT tab, it seemed to only show CAL-metal, and the reports at the top of the list were for Nov 13. It also showed only 3 or 4 BESs. When I scrolled down (some), it looked like it was going backwards in time, and still, no UAL metal.

Based on your most recent, I scrolled WAY down....and found Jan 14, as well as more BESs.

I'm not sure what the sort-critera is: alphabetic, file-size, numeric...but it wasn't obvious. Thanks!

Penguin:

Skynet/Flying Together. Go to Flight Ops (new link on left labelled "Pilot").

Once there, Scheduling. Use the pull-down, and there are two choices...use the bottom one.

You'll find "Annual System Seniority List," or words to that effect.

While doing this, I found something I'd forgotten about: a table (grid) that shows each BES, and the seniority number at 10, 20, 30, etc % seniority.

Makes it easy to figure out where you would fall.

Dice:

If you can't login, call IT. Might be slow now with the FAR 117 meltdown.

First time, it has a default password. It says so in red below the password field. CMS, birth month in three letters, birth year.

ALPA put out an email saying (I think) that the month had to be all CAPS.

It was either that, or just the first letter. I'm certain that "CMS" must be all-caps.
