You are, somewhat, misinformed. Merlot does nothing with the schedule. Your preferences are saved in a form Excel can read, and then exported to Excel. Your schedule is built in Excel, and then loaded back in to Merlot.
At no time does Merlot do anything with your schedule, other than (supposedly) check it for legality.

That being said........ Everyone in the hearing who testified in front of the judge should be thrown in jail who said merlot was a requirement. I'm sure this will get real interesting very fast if indeed this is true.

" Most of the people who don't understand the bidding process are the ones who get messed up schedules. "
Clipped, this is not true.

Just basing it on my aircraft in my domicile.... can't comment on others. Of course I don't know what is going on in every base. I guess it's just luck that my schedule has been exactly they way I bid for the last 9 months. I guess Isaac likes me.

If anyone of us did that in a formal hearing, we would be fired faster then you can say, F&H $ucks Donkey B@lls. Ethics, like everything else around here goes one-way.

I remember in the AF they'd do safety surveys now and again saying "where will the next Class A occur?" Based on reading this thread, I'd say Allegiant. Holy crap. Is this real? People actually choose to work here?

It's still pbs whether it's through the spreadsheet or merlot. I have bid specific pairings every month since merlot started. I have received everything I have bid based on my seniority. I'm not arguing whether the company is playing dirty or not. I'm simply stating that it has worked for me and others. Most of the people who don't understand the bidding process are the ones who get messed up schedules.
If it's working out for you, that's good for you. The remaining 99% are usually getting screwed.

It's really not PBS because what you bid has nothing to do with what you receive. The person that builds the lines gives you whatever he wants to give you, regardless of seniority and what your preferences are.

You have to hand it to management; they get us for nothing and strand some of the new hires with a bad PRIA. Brilliant.
