I'm sure Brand X would love to have you. Got an app in?

The way that I read it is that after 0900 LBT at least 48 prior to the trip. All m/u requests, no matter what kind, are processed in the order they are received. PMU is only given priority up too 0900 LBT at least 48 hours prior to the trip.

My apologies if this is not what you were looking for.
My experience tells me the computer does not comply with this section of the CBA very well. It only gives priority to PMU within the accrued bucket of requests once the scheduler "enters" the trip trade system to process the requests. At that point, be it 1 minute or 7 hours since the last time they processed, the priority is honored within that group. More frequent processing obviously benefits the General make up guys.

One way to flight test this? If you have PMU and GMU bank, the next time you want to submit for a PMU trip, request the trip first under GMU and then submit a PMU one. Assuming you do not get an early time stamp prior to or in between your submissions by another pilot, my money is on the first request being denied and the second "approved".
