July awards are out....

PRO:
Mid level bidder, 17 days off, 76.1hr credit, 250 TAFB, don't have to trade a single trip to make schedule work for family life (before PBS would need to change half my sched regularly).

CON:
More flight credit, only 1 hour of rig (line bidding was normally around 15hr of soft pay), almost every red-eye has a leg before +1 red-eye?). Still not sure how to bid....

36% in base. 17 days off 75 hrs. Asked for 10 specific days off and got them all. And I did not waive the 4 days off. Not sure where the cutoff is on guys getting crap lines but looking out my window I’m happy.

Yup, my two best schedules so far have been the last 2 PBS bids. 85 hours with 15 off and a week off over the 4th of July. 28% in base

I got exactly what I asked for which isn’t exactly what I wanted (all my fault, I’ll get better at bidding), don’t have to trade out any trips, probably will because of layovers.
86 hours, 15 days off, no redeyes, easy trips. A couple of DHs.

82% in base, had 27 hours of pre awarded credit for training. Got a line that was built out of coverage awards (preempting any bid preferences.) 17 days off, 74 hours credit.

Which base?

I only had to waive down to two days off between pairings instead of one like last month to get a line so I guess that’s better.....

Wanting rsv with all weekends and the 4th off got me a line working all weekends and the 4th. Knowing I could probably hold all weekends off gave me confidence to add the 4th without adding another rsv bid group without it. Then all my “backup” hard line bid groups I put below rsv didn’t hit. I just assumed I’d get whatever I wanted on rsv per usual. Let the dropping begin. I don’t know how you guys work a month of 4 days.
