Gunfighter,
You seem to have a handle on the pbs thing. I have noticed a few pilots have (for december) 1 trip worth 30-ish hours and that's it, nothing else.

What's up with that? I know that isn't enough to qual as a RLL and it doesn't count as unblockable. There are no other events on their month.

PBS "lost" one of my bid parameters

1st line of my bid- off Dec 24, 25, else start next..

I got a line, got unstacked, and received a 4 day starting 24 Dec. ***?
Now here's the kicker, the reasons report doesn't show the else start next command. I went back to easy bid to make sure I did indeed bid that way and it was in there. I know I double checked my bid in PBS too after uploading it. Needless to say, I am P155eD! I'm calling the alpa pbs guy this morning, but honestly, I just think I'm screwed.

Anybody else ever seen something like this happen?

Incorrect. IF you are designated as RLL-eligible/unblockable, and you elect as your last resort an RLL line, your RLL line can now be worth as little as zero. This was a change negotiated recently (see PBS Notepad 12-05) and is reflected in our current contract.

my understanding was that you were either unblockable (blank regular line) or RLL. I stand corrected if your explanation is correct.

Thanks to George Bush Sr. we have the American's with Disabilities Act which imposes an extraordinary duty on common carriers who then outsource that duty to the lowest bidder.

The law is what it is, but, in a more normal time people who need medical transport services would buy medical transport services rather than shopping for the cheapest fare they can find, depending on others to literally carry them and suing when difficult tasks undertaken by the incompetent are fuddled. He wants dignity? Charter a Lear that is designed to carry handicapped folks with dignity. If you buy a seat in the back expect no more dignity than any of the other passengers who get trampled, bonked in the head and inconvenienced.

I helped care for a WWII fighter pilot who was wheelchair bound. When he fell out (he also had vertigo) he'd make a joke of it and climb back on. He knew how to make the two foot drop from his seat and would roll out of the maneuver making jokes ... especially in public places where he would exclaim "look at that hole!" ... "and that oil slick!" As store managers searched for a non existent hole, or spill, he'd make his escape while attention was diverted away from him. He never wanted to be a burden on anyone ....

That, IMHO, is the difference between that generation and ours .... . "gimme $300,000 tax free to restore my ... dignity ..." for an alleged soft tissue injury.

If I said yes, wouldn't that remove my anonymity?

I might of had something similar happen, my scenario wasn't as bad as yours. Let us know what ALPA says, good luck.
