Where do you find it? I tried schedule- month, future schedule, bid awards. do you have to look in PBS? I cant get access to PBS I don't have a password apparently. Can someone please tell me why we need to enter passwords for email, icrew, PBS, etc? Can't we just enter ONE password? It seems like overkill.

I think someone on here was talking about trying to swap for a trip but not being allowed to because next months bids aren't released yet? When will that happen. I see a tasty 4 day trip in ATL that I could swap for, but I keep getting that message. It starts on Tuesday. When will those ALPA people release the bids? Thank you.
If you mean the Dalpa volunteers who work their buts off QAing the bids then perhaps you should volunteer to help them. They don't get trip drop pay and do it on their spare time.
They however have nothing to do with when the bid results are released into DBMS. The company controls that and is not contractually required to do it until 1800 on the 17th. In months where the bids are done early they sometimes release the schedules sooner. It depends on if they feel they are final. There may be pilots disputing the bid results which would cause them to wait on the final release.

Log on to Deltanet - go to "Crew Resources and Scheduling", look for Feb bid awards and then pick out your aircraft (eg LAX 73n) - you have three formats - choose wide reports and look for you last name. although they can change (not firm until in DBMS) this is usually correct.
THanks I found it.... but People jr to me got off the days I wanted off... I don't understand how it works! Arghhh I'm so frustrated. How do you request reserve days off? Is it not the section of icrew where it says request golden days off?!

Are you talking about bidding for X days (off days) for the upcoming month on RSV? You have to do that thru PBS from the 6th-12th when the bid window is open. RSV golden days are done thru i/ecrew after the bid results come out. Good luck.

FYP;
The 765 line is still there pending a decision on the tanker program but the 757 line is toast. They would redesign the wing and systems if they were to use that platform anyway.

No, that is where you bid golden days after the initial bid results. You bid reserve days off in the PBS system. When you first start to enter your bid you get a window that says "Start Regular" or "Start Reserve." To bid days off on reserve, select "Start Reserve" then select "Prefer Off" and enter the days you prefer off on reserve.

Just came back to ATL after a weekend in Huntsville/Decatur Alabama. There is still 4" of snow on the ground and it was colder than ATL. Yet the roads were all clear and most of the parking lots were plowed and salted. ATL is still a mess.
One more reason why Alabama is superior to Georgia. ROLL TIDE!
