I put in a WS for a specific trip in open time. The value is below my p/u limit, there are no turn-time issues...the trip falls into a huge blank spot in my schedule.
Last PCS run, no award, yet the trip is still in open time. Aren't white slips awarded every PCS run? I though as long as nobody senior to me asked for it via WS, it would be awarded. Where am I wrong?

Thanks Scambo, my lookback was good. I didn't realize this information was available, I eventually found it on the "Block Hours Flown" report.
Strangely, I got it on the 2200E run, so now the request is deleted and I can't look at it. 
Not sure why it denied on the 1700E run, but I got it now!

I did the blind swap thing for awhile, but kinda like to know what trips I'm asking for.
It's kind of a pain to set up (and even to use until you get the hang of it) but Easy Swap allows you to filter trips and then it will log in and enter all the swaps by rotation #/date for you.
I think it's $4.95 a month, but it's worth it if you get one good swap a year. You also need windows and the persistence to work through their crappy interface

EasyBid doesn't work with the last 2 changes in PBS, can't do vacation slide or pairing departing on. It will crash the bid import if you use these commands. I've pimped them 4 times now, no fixes for months.
WidgetWorks no longer works with the VoiceCallSystem / telephone system, they haven't gone in and tweaked the #s program uses to match the latest changes. Weeks now.
EasySwap gives me issues too on the open time import. Stopped using that one.
Company has basically gone 99% to crap since Saber bought them. You can only get a zero knowledge phone-answerer when you call, never anyone with any actual tech knowledge. And I'm mostly convinced the dude on phone doesn't even actually take bug fix messages and pass them on.

More PCS Questions
1. How do you trade a four day trip for four day trips? There are only three slots per request in the swap-with-pot template.
2. Does PCS take bad day/worse day into account when processing swaps? For instance, could I swap a one day trip that is right at the reserve limit for a one day that is two reserves below the limit?

I totally agree!
Just trying to get my head around the reduction in the RJ fleet, the 930 new hires this year, the hundreds of new captain positions, and the record profit sharing is difficult.
So I prefer to concentrate on things I don't fully understand.

Are referring the new hires that were promised in the C12 sales job a year before they actually started?
Imagine how big the profit sharing would be if we kept it--instead of self-funding our 4833 "raise." Say, didn't dalpa imply we'd never see the "3-3" part of C12?
Your spin is weak sauce.
