Read it, learn it, know it and you can grab schedules you should never be able to hold because guys senior to you didn't read it.

I looked through the pbs manual on Comply365. Don't know if it's the same one. Seemed pretty easy when you follow the steps that give you.

I used the Pbs bidding program that you install on your PC. I had to go find an old Windows laptop that I hadn't used in years.

Not true if I understood the manual correctly. A reserve bid does NOT go into denial mode if all your days off requests you made cannot be honored. So when it goes back to try to build a reserve line for you it disregards the whole line at once.

You have to put each day off on a separate line.
On a normal pairings bid it will do denial mode and disregard days off from right to left on your line

I just bumped into a guy on the hiring team and he said "only the candidates that show up at a conference such as Obap or wia will be considered this round" they supposedly want to meet people face to face first. Is that what you guys are hearing too?

Hey man thanks for heads up. I actually did call the faa, and they asked me for a request number . So I called sterling back and they weren't able to provide me with one.
So at this point I have no idea what to do, except for call JB hr

Thanks for the information. So they're still considering folks they saw at this last WAI?
