You bid for vacation, and get denied. Then you bid for the days off you want, and you get CNed. Then you post the trip for pickup, and nobody picks it up. Then you call in sick or emergency and use your user/vacation bank to cover the hours. It will default to pulling from the user bank unless you call and ask them to take it from your vacation bank. Each day counts as a separate callout against your reliability, so if you call out on a 4 day trip, you get 4 demerits.

On SWOL: Flight operations tab /Scheduling/PBS bid information
guaranteed line holders will get a minimum 75 hour award. Targeted line holders should get between 5 and 100 hour award, with reserve days added at 4:12 per day to get you to 75 hours if needed. Below targeted you may get a li e similar to a targeted pilot.

Otherwise for a rough estimate that would consider more senior people bidding down to reserve evaluate where your yellow bar falls in the transparency for the bases of interest at /SKYW/CrewMisc/PBSBidTransparency.aspx - this is only not available while bids are being processed and updated for the coming month at the latest 20th at 0900MT.

Basic rule of thumb
if you're 90% or jr of qualified bidders in seat in a specific base you'll be full reserve line. If you're 80%-90% of qualified bidders in seat in a specific base you will probably get a composite line of a few trips and reserve days to take you to 75 hours.
if you're senior to 80%, of qualified bidders in seat in a specific base you'll probably get a real line.
The basic rule of thumb is modified by the bid information as mentioned at the above SWOL pages.
when you open up the PBS bid page it will show seniority list for your assigned base with some pilots as not bidding. Those pilots are either not qualified yet, on some type of leave, on medical hold, or more likely have put in their two weeks and will be gone by the time the month schedule starts.

You can compare the Bid Info previously mentioned /OO/flightoperations/scheduling/bid-information, to the PBS "View Seniority list", compare the guarantee to where you fall and adjust for the number of red lines above. This is available for sure when bids open 10th 0900MT.
Otherwise for a rough estimate that would consider more senior people bidding down to reserve evaluate where your yellow bar falls in the transparency for the bases of interest at /SKYW/CrewMisc/PBSBidTransparency.aspx - this is only not available while bids are being processed and updated for the coming month at the latest 20th at 0900MT.

Quick question for you all,
I was talking with a buddy who commuted on the 175 and he started talking to me about how drops all of his trips and picks up trips that are both front/back commutable. He basically told me he can easily get Monday-Thursday 3/4 day trips and get weekends off on almost every bid. He got hired on the back end of covid and has been on property for less than a year.
Can anyone tell me more information on how someone can do this? Commuting to work even on a short 1 1/2 flight with plenty of flight options still has me stressed out. Biggest concern is not being able to get both front/back commutable trips after a few months on reserve/line holder.
Sorry if I sound uninformed, it’s because I mostly am.
Thanks for the helps.
