It takes a day after the As are out so you can filter the Avoids out of the Bs. One more reason for upgrading. You fly with your favorite A on every trip and get the schedule a day sooner.

A day? What's processing the bid, a TI-82?

I'm on reserve this month and due Green slip pay back days and rest I start long call at 0226 on the 16th.

My question is, Can I get assigned a trip starting at 0226 or not till 12 hours after that?

Multiple bids are run using different TLV assumptions and then DALPA gets to QA results and can ask for additional reruns.

I only bid a few specific trips for July. I used iCrew => Pilot names for trip number and saw my name on and off the trip I selected throughout the day. It must be a lengthy process. Too Lengthy.

Baja.

I thought he was saying it took a day to process the avoid bids. Also was trying to be funny. Cuz 80's calculators.

But while we're talking about it, how long does each run on each TLV assumption take? Is it a common occurance for DALPA to request a rerun? What reasons would make them request one? Any reason they worked so hard to get A results out so late last night?

Every category is unique so there is no one answer. DALPA as a example however would request a rerun if they felt a category had excessive unstacking. The company will use different assumptions trying to drive line values lower or higher depending on manning. We have one of the better if not best PBS system in the industry because we have a lot of checks and balances. Most of that work is done by volunteers at DALPA. It's a pretty thankless job.

International pay question:

The $6.50 / $4.50 override for international does not apply to M88 drivers going to Cancun? I've been a few times I don't see on my PAS where they are applying that credit.
