YOU CANNOT always get a specific rap/improve your chances of getting a specific rap, just by not requesting certain days off, thats not how it works. It might help, but too many variables at play (seniority, Bids awarded prior to you, reserve need/grid, coverage awards etc) The PBS guys wont recommend what you suggested, not preferring days off, as it is not a surefire way to get a specific rap.
By not bidding for days off you are not helping yourself. Ask the PBS guys.

But yes, I agree it sucks the way it currently works as days off and raps are not awarded together.

Thanks for clarifying. I haven’t dealt with reserve after PBS and just recently began familiarizing myself with the system. That’s my big reason to keep bypassing upgrade.

So in this case... the original post shouldn't say it's after taxes... I don't know why we're arguing my point.

Ah yup don’t know how I managed to miss that he claimed the numbers as post tax, my apologies, carry on.

Perhaps you didn't list yourself for this weekend? Or already have too much premium credit this year? I got called twice on Friday and once Saturday. Each time scheduling called they had a couple of trips to choose from.

Unfortunately I’m working the entire weekend. Sometimes it’s timing and luck I suppose! Glad there are calls going out!!!!

Navblue in it's current state is completely incompatible with our reserve rules, I have questioned whether it is even contractually compliant. The union doesn't seem to care so I don't see anything changing.

At least a couple people understand how this works.

As long as folks senior to me are not bidding days off thinking it’s getting them their preferred rap it helps me get the days off I want I guess.

US: RAPs MATTER!!!

Navblue: suck it!!
