Quick pbs question
 

If someone lives locally and doesn't mind coming to work 5-6 times/month. Which SET command works best to avoid back to back trips...

SET MIN BASE REST TIME?

Thanks in advance!

SET min days between work blocks.

With min base rest time, pbs may come up with some creative solutions that may have you going to work at strange times.

That can give you back to back trips as one work block if you don't restrict the length of work blocks with an "avoid" length of trips to the appropriate length.

Change length of work blocks. Can go as high as 19 days AND waive the FAR rest in base requirement. This once gave me 8 days straight block on the 737, with the required 30 hour break in 168 at a layover. Ugly, but as a last ditch BG to get Thanksgiving off...

Did you get to eat turkey at home ?

Yes, and called in sick for one of the back to back four days, but wasn't next to a vacation or a designated holiday.

Like was said,
Set min days between work blocks (x)
Award work L--

See what comes out.

Unfortunately MIN DAYS BETWEEN WORK BLOCKS doesn't work. Two back to back 3 days is considered 1 work block. Trying to avoid that...

Got a hold of the PBS guys, got it worked out. Thanks for jumping in on this thread fellas.

I think L++ might work better. I'm pretty sure PBS reads L++ as I want lots of trips, and L-- that I want fewer.

I'm gonna have to look for this L++ command. Pretty sure I can make PBS implode with it, like dividing by zero.
