What PBS Debacle?? Think its the vocal 10% on here that no mater what they get will complain...

I drew 4 aces, I don't want a re-run;)

I have a debacle, granted I've only had a few months of bidding but still being in 70% I should be able to get something I want besides all CN. I talked to PBS helpline today and they said that pbs attempted to schedule me several 95 hours (which I want) and 4 day trips (which I want) but because I have 1 day that carries in on the 1st of April it screwed the bid and couldn't assign me the things I wanted during the first half. So my first half of the month is CN not giving me a single day I wanted off. Have to wait till the 24th till its on skedplus to start wheeling and dealing with other people or swapping open time trips with ones I've been assigned within CN to at least get 2 weekdays off that I wanted.

We need a new vendor ASAP!!!!! There should be some predictably and there's absolutely NONE!! The CN/PN crap is getting old. All of the leftover pairings should be dumped into open time and not forced onto us!

I'll save you from taking an basic English class.

So.. After looking at the sapa fourm, there are 8 pilots that have complained and found a problem.. Thats 8 out of 3840. Doubt that constitutes a pbs debacle... And sorry for the grammer. I usualy have kids jumping on me while i type. Want to stay involved in this forum but family comes first... Hence the typing errors..

Lol... You think people use the SAPA forums? Hahahahahahaha

Good one. No i don't.. Its the same 80 people!!!!

What they don't tell you is there is probably only 10 that complained. They will spin it however they want it to look. The PBS system is so far behind other companies it's not even worth being called a PBS.

Perhaps you are being too restrictive in your bid. I'm guessing since you've been with the company less than 6 months and this is your first airline that you don't have a lot of experience with programs such as this or bidding in general.

On the reason report does it say the pairings you want were replaced do to line constraints?

What did you have selected for days off between work blocks?

Did you waive the 28 in 7? Or max duty days?

In the reason report what was the minimum line value for your line? What did you bid for? (credit range)

What days did you bid off? (If it was for the final four forget about it.)

The answer to the first question I asked is very important.

Some other things to consider. Bidding 70% with a bunch of low paying pairings makes it real hard to get 95 hours with 19 work days(or whatever the max is they can schedule us for).
