How do you see that you barely missed it. What can I look for to see where I stand in that.

The final adjusted award. Find your name, and see how many people above you are on reserve

You do all know the union puts up a rough line count every month before pbs opens right? Helps figure out roughly how close you are

PHX is the most senior and only takes a couple of months to hold from what I've heard. I think they have quite a bit of turnover.

Thanks, Tin.

Well, that, and the fact that the best line PBS could come up with was just shy of of the required credit window in my results report. I needed what, 76?

Somebody suggested that the award might not be final, it came out a day early and there were anomalies with it. Being as senior as I was out of the reserves for DFW, I got only one of the 8 days off I bid for, vs. all 11 days I bid for (and got) this month.

Did the days off you selected violate any of the following rules?

1) Must work at least 3 reserve days at a time
2) Must have at least 2 days off at a time between blocks of days on
3) No more than 6 consecutive reserve days at a time
4) Must be no conflict with above rules looking backwards into previous month

Also, look at the people above you on the list--did any of them request any of those 8 days off? Did any of them have legalities requiring a schedule with any of those 8 days off?

Even something as simple as picking days off on a reserve bid can be complicated, even if you're the #1 reserve in base.

The best way to do it is to bid a set of specific days off you want (complying with the above rules), select the "all or nothing, else start next bid group" options, then bid another group of specific days off you want, select "all or nothing, else start next bid group" again and so on and so forth, until you've selected all sets of all days off you would want in bid groups descending from most wanted to least wanted. Then put one last bid in with just the days off you want without selecting "else start next bid group"/"all or nothing."

This way, PBS will simply cycle through all of the possible sets of days off you want, and if it can't give you any of those sets, it'll give you as many of those days off as it can.

Even as a lineholder, I always put in a few sets of 11 days off with all or nothing/else start next bid group commands, so if under some crazy circumstance I ended up on reserve, I know exactly what days off I'd end up with.

Thanks man! I've been asking around for awhile but nobody seemed to know.

E175
 
Hi guys, if anyone can assist me here. I was flying the 737 overseas to get my 1500TT and I am back now thinking to apply for Mesa. Do you know if they give the E175 and IAH base for new hires ? My family is in the Houston area so Mesa would sound good for me. Thank you for any information

Iah is the only 175 base and every fo in it is a new hire. But no guarantees as to which aircraft you will be assigned

Iah
