I only have 8 days left at SkyWest until I resign my seat (congrats, you get to move up another number
) so you'll need to find another expert to assist you with next months bid.

1: CDOs; 5h+ cdt/dp

3: 3 days; 5h+ cdt/dp; try to finish at this layer; waive min cdt.; 12hrs off between pairings
4: 4 days; 5h+ cdt/dp; waive min cdt.; 12hrs off between pairings
5: CDOs, locals, 2 days (no restrictions)
6: 3days, 4 days (no restrictions)
7: no restrictions...
Also, by layer 4, 60%, and layer 5, 75% of all trips fit.
I bid 55%, so by no stretch should I have gotten PN trips all over my schedule.
And the PNs happen after the last layer awarded trip, which was a P5, so it had nothing to do with the layer 3 "try to finish"
Since I only bid by trip length and credit, with no other pairing properties selected. (no weekends off, trip mix, commutable blocks, days, nights, etc. None of that AT ALL)
So, I'm awfully curious how I restricted PBS' too much, or how the simple system was just too much for my lack of common sense or brain to handle.
Now tell me Mr. Expert, how I F'd myself.
Considering this is the same bid I've used for months, and can't get a single month to look similar to another. I haven't seen a PN in a year on my schedule. And only one or 2 CNs in the past year. Now the opposite.
I've been bidding with this POS PBS software for 3 years, and only 2x have I gotten such a POS schedule. One month, everyone was getting hosed. This month, as you assert, I screwed myself...

Does anybody know the June and July class dates for Skywest at the moment? I believe one is set for Aug 25. I'm scheduled for September but hoping to be able to get out of my current obligation earlier and attend an earlier class. Rather than bother the recruiters, I just wanted to know if anyone knows the June/July dates.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm going to be the FNG in a couple of weeks and it looks as though it takes a bit of time, studying & trial/error to become proficient with PBS.
Is it realistic for a jr guy on reserve to have a high likelihood of getting 2-3 specific days off in any month? I'm not talking about weekends and holidays, just the ability to look ahead and work around items of personal significance.
Also, how much formal training on PBS is provided during new-hire training?
