So, there's not enough FO's in IAD. Therefore, what we request doesn't matter? It will be purple until more FO's come to IAD? Am, I reading this correctly?

I really can’t complain this month. I didn’t get the specific days off I wanted, but a fairly decent schedule.

Last month, they unstacked 5 pairings onto my schedule. That kinda made me update my resume.
Got 1 trip unstacked, luckily not into my off days.
I think that 85 hour credit is the sweet spot, where the software can't throw another 4 Day on top of it.

Having said that, I am in the top 50 percent. Doesn't take much time to get there.

But, it can throw a 15 hour 3 day on there. If you were only unstacked with one pairing, that is great. I think PBS doesn’t load you up after the coverage awards.

When you hear people complaining they got 100 hour lines, they received only coverage awards. Last month, I received 5 coverage pairings and close to 100 hours.

What base? Left or right seat?

No base has enough FO’s.

It gets better with seniority. You can look at PBS awards to see how far up the seniority list you need to be in order to get less unstacking.

While coverage awards are supposed to respect your bid preferences if it can, most often coverage awards end up ignoring what you put in.

IAH - left.

3, 2, and 1 day trips. However, there weren't many of those.

I usually get a couple 3 day trips each month.

Did anyone else notice there are no FO’s in the Ejet in the IAH standing bid? Given we lose Ejet pilots every month, I can’t see going a month without FO’s. I hope this is a mistake. Or, is this just flushing out the pilots in the Ejet training pipeline?

Also, when is the ATL standing bids going to be allowed?

I noticed that there are a bunch of CRJ openings this Standing Bid. Especially in IAD for F/Os. Surprising, because I thought almost everyone was jumping on the CPP bandwagon.
