I'm bad the time is wrong, opens at 17:00 I just saw rather than 10:00 like the old system.

 

The post is correct, just the timing is off. PBS frequently has unplanned outages during the bid period. Just wait for one of those outages and then "top" this thread.

 

First unplanned outage!

It's 1715 CST on the 6th and no PBS, only this when you try to get on ---








Guess we don't get the on time :14 this month!

 

Kinda related. Do we have third party vendors to help us bid and pick up trips like the old days at UAL (I'm guessing CAL too)?

 

The company's CCS website has an open time alert feature. Sends a text to phone when a trip goes into open time. Have to call to scheduling still.

There is a third party called CCS Max that is like an overlay to CCS adds which a lot of features. Haven't used it in years. Here's the link,

CCS Max

Starting 25 Dec instant trip trading goes away so that will significantly change the game. We go to a seniority-based procedure in that you ask for the trade/pickup and you are put in a pool of other pilots who want the same then after a while scheduling makes the transaction in seniority order.

 

Does the LUAL side have any idea how familiar this is to the LCAL side? "Wait until we're in charge of the union. We'll show the kids at CAL how it's done." So the new side has complained about four, count 'em, four failed PBS practice runs and here we are going live with a big fail. Looks like nothing has changed.

"PBS bidding for January schedules opened at 1700 CST on Dec 6th and will close at 1000 CST on Dec 12th per the UPA. Corporate IT has consistently demonstrated their deficiencies throughout the entire merger process. Despite repeated meetings and warnings from ALPA PBS SMEs over the past year, recently over concerns of data importing, corporate IT has failed once again in its ability to deliver. We have been in constant contact with the company since the opening of bidding and have raised the numerous IT issues to the VP level. The following issues are IT failures and are currently being resolved by the company:"

Yup..enjoy bidding and PBS!

 

You can thank Jay Pearce and his game playing for that. If we would have all been pulling on the same end of the rope instead of playing the ISL advantage game. We might just have a decent contract.

 

And why were they in this place to begin with?

Oh yeah, that's right. Good game Pearce. Understatement of the decade!
