PBS question
 
how do you access the individual trips and pairing numbers for the current monthly bid cycle? for example: IAH B737 CA.

I tried bidding, pbs, system documents.

I guess this aint' right.

ccs ==> bidding ==> bid packages

Crew Companion has them as well. Just select All Trips. Let’s you see who’s on them and the history as well that way.

Alzheimer's?

You can't remember where to find this.
Your revisionist history of CAL and what happened in the 00's
Can't remember what union members screwed you.

I hear Turmeric taken daily can help. LOL

No, the truth is the truth. The CAL MEC rolled over time and time again. Nothing revisionist about that.

I am changing bidding strategy. Instead of bidding for specific days off and ignoring the trips I plan on looking at the actual trips. The entire PBS thing has been way too complicated for my likings.

I cherry pick specific trips and it works out great. Going through the bid package is too much work though. I just use PBS to filter out what I want and then bid specific trips. It didn’t seem to work very well when I was above 20% though. I’d get a trip once in a while, but usually what I wanted went senior anyway. If you live in base and don’t have to factor in commuting restrictions, it should work out much more junior. When I dropped below 15% it seemed to make a big difference. I avoid turns and red eyes and pick the most productive trip that is commutable on both ends, hopefully with a deadhead on the back side.
