Regarding our 717s and delays....there was a 717 on our gate (A-5) with a mechanical delay. We had to circle around to the even side of the A gates in alley #1, to gate A-2 for a new gate. The 717 did get off the gate, but about :20 mins late. No idea what the delay was about. I'm sure the mechanics will get the a/c squared away, and reliable. Wasn't that way in this case, yet.

Is anyone having issues logging onto PBS? I keep getting a message "check back later, due to a bid award in progress". Any ideas?

Nothing is "guaranteed" until the contractual timelines. So you aren't "guaranteed" any bid packages posted on DLNet or PBS access via NavTech until 1800/04th of every month.
Though often times we can get the next month's info a day or so early, consider that a bonus early peek at next month's trips.

Hypothetical...
7 days on reserve. Get a 4 day trip followed by a 11 hour rest period. Once the trip is over, if they don't already have a trip or short call assigned, when is the soonest they can assign something? Also, what if any obligation is there to answer the phone during the rest period? Trying to figure out if they can extend that rest to 24 hours while I'm in the rest period to make me legal for another 3 day assignment or do they have to wait until the rest period is over to assign more rest (thus breaking the rest)
I'm sure that's ridiculously confusing.
