PBS is currently locked for OCT bid run. When it opens up, I'll look at the reasons, and hopefully that 'll shed some light on this. I'm mostly hoping that I don't fly a full month in OCT, as I have Vacation coming next month as well. Not too senior in my seat, if it's not obvious. I didn't complain about SEP, as I didnt have anything planned. OCT…different matter.
On a side note it's important to understand the contract. I recently talked with a pilot who because he did not understand how to use PBS in a training month dealt himself over a 15% paycut for the entire year! That's a tough thing to swallow when a hour on the Internet or a few phone calls would have saved the day. There are resources on how to bid in almost every situation on the DALPA website.

Go to the DALPA site: Dal.alpa.org log in, go to the 'notifications' link and opt in for the 'Pilot Blast' with your cell phone number. You'll get text messages for bidding opening and closing dates and bid awards, etc.

Any idea how to sign up for the website? I go to login and don't see a place to sign up as a new member.

In a short staffed category with 12 day trips. Had 3 or 4 shadow days at the start of the month. Bid a 12 day trip going out after the shadow days. Could have bid and held several 12 day trips touching the shadow days and had the entire trip dropped and paid for. Would have easily received a 12 day or a couple of 6 day greenslips. Worked 12 days got 75 hours pay. Could have worked 12 days for 225 hours pay.
