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.

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.
