Meal Info on CCS Pairing Pages
I'm trying to figure out if meals are even shown on the page we commonly print from CCS that shows the info for a trip/pairing.
Under the Bidding tab, you can get Bid Period Information. Shows generic info on how to read the pairing. All well and good, but it shows the dot-matrix format, not the current blue/olive drab one. Under the old format, it had S, B, L, and D.
The current format is self-explanatory for the most part, although I admit I don't know what "Ov Po" means, or Au. If this were chemistry, the last two would be Polonium and Gold.
Do meals show at all, or do you have to know what the contract requires? Makes it difficult to file for a missed meal if you didn't know you were due one.

Under scheduling, my schedule, click on the id. Once it appears, click on the flight in question. A drop down menu will appear with available meals on the flight. You are also able to input your choice which I believe has to be 24hrs out.

Thanks! Another in the long-list of "Oh, we didn't teach you how to work that?" (WSI, PBS, iPad, usource, ULN, payroll, etc...)

I also recently returned and the company couldn't be bothered to explain PBS to redoc pilots, although if you were a new hire pilot - no problem, you get trained.
Like everything else in the company, there holes in training big enough to drive a truck through.

So it depended who you talked to and how they personally decided to explain it. So it was training in bits and pieces, much how I hear the guppy training center works. You get a different instructor each day with a different tidbit and different technique.
Classes would have been nice instead of a user manual that didn't help and numerous "techniques" for bidding.
