It's like the gear, I've never landed without it down, and won't ever because it's like putting on shoes to me. I don't leave the house without shoes, because it's ingrained in me.


Please! Let's hang out!

Which I think is utter BS. I already had an ATP when I applied but I get to be forever junior to all my classmates who hadn't even passed their ATP written? Pure BS.

On the topic of bidding - why is it that you can only bid avoid one person per layer? How can you actually bid avoid two or more people and be confident you won't fly with them? I tried to avoid two people in all seven layers thinking it would ensure a month without them, is there a better way to do that?

So it looks like the first 5 DL 175s are heading to SEA. No surprise there, but the other 14 have yet to be announced.

Wow. I clicked on this thread and my DeltaBravometer went all Chernobyl on me. Found him.

Actually, you can. Ignore the message, they had to put it in there because once upon a time we had very small domiciles like SBP where certain senior FA's would bid avoid most of the pilots in the base, rendering it very difficult to construct a line. When PBS was unable to build them a line to their preferences and respecting their bid avoids, it would fail and PN their entire month. The PBS powers that be got sick of listening to those FA's complain, so they added the error message. I have repeatedly asked and been told by the help line that you can still bid avoid multiple people.

Just don't avoid most of your base.
