People claim to have it all figured out and the reality is that the your schedule is up to the company's needs and wants. No matter how you bid or how much you think you've got it figured out this "PBS" system barely follows seniority and is a way for the company to cover all of their flying at the expense of your quality of life. You can take all the tutorials you want, but no matter how you bid your schedule will still have numerous days that are awarded out if seniority. This CBI is the same pile of ****** solver, but it's in a fancy little package.

C 172 your message is a bit offensive to the large number of pilots that have had their schedules ruined by this bs fake pref bid software called Merlot. ...and what is 'payed tutering?' Hopefully you are joking, in which case, funny post!

Both of you need to learn to bid. Put the day off in most preferred and if it is your number one day you want off put it as number 1. Put everything else in the least preferred in the order you want it and put that as 31 (or 30 if there are 30 days in the month)
Next take your second day you want off and put that as your second preference and in the least preferred put 30 (or 29 if there are 30 days in the month. Ect
I would recommend you take advantage of the company's 1 on 1 payed tutering. If you want the days off and trips you want. It is a pretty easy system once you figure it out. The most important thing to know is if the optimizer goes through the global list and it doesn't have you at enough hours (it awarded you all the days off you asked for) it will go through the list and give you the trips that you bid for in the order you put them if it hasn't given them to someone senior unless it makes you illegal.

It is.
Your suggestion with that post is; this is your problem deal with it. No sir. This is G4 management’s problem. And we will make them deal with it.
Maybe he already has..
