They have never not made the deadline.

But because we are pilots, we want our bid results NOW!! and complain when we don't get it. Sometimes it is better to just let the process run, and if it takes the PBS process a little longer (though still contractually compliant) it is better than having to perhaps scramble and fix things later in the game.
Probably my category that is AFU.
Just for the record, I wasn't %$#&'n actually just pleasantly pleased that I had reserve in ICREW despite what the PBS reports said. I've never heard of the transition to ICREW that dramatic, ie between lineholder vs reserve.
Either way I will come to terms with what's been awarded and begin work to fix as best I can on the morning of the 20th.

Editors note: Just noticed that ICREW June schedule is locked down again..... so probably just a temp bit of what could've been, had it not been for 'denial mode'.

My June Schedule changed pretty dramatically from what I was initially awarded. I’m switching bases but that doesn’t matter, other than that I’ve never seen it change like that before today. When I got the text that the Captain schedules were out, I went into Deltanet and wrote down the trip numbers and pulled up the bid package and looked at all the trips I was awarded. Then today I went into Icrew and looked at my schedule again after acknowledging my trips. 3 of the 4 trips I have now are different trips than what I initially had.

It’s weird....or maybe more common for my new base, than it was for my old base.

Default OK on schedule?

How long does it normally take for “OK” to show up on ones schedule after completing TOE? I can’t adjust or do anything as the system still thinks I am not qualified, however, my LCA says he submitted the info. Thanks!

How long ago did he submit it. In the past same day is the norm. Perhaps it’s the weekend and will show up this morning.

I ended yesterday... was just hoping to catch the 0700 pcs run today. Maybe because it was the weekend, or I failed it and he didn’t tell me.

You can also call scheduling and have a supervisor apply a VACB day, which will pull the pro-rated value of the reserve day from your vacation bank (i.e. it will pay ~30 minutes more than an IVD and won’t reduce the number of vacation days at your disposal like IVD’s do).

I found it in the PWA awhile back. Had to go through a few schedulers to get to the bottom of it. The entry can apparently only be done by a scheduling supervisor.
