I seem to remember at sUA, in the last contract schedules were due by the 20th. The 17th is a 3-day improvement for some, what do you suggest?

Guess what? If marketing does not have plan for October by August we've found the problem.
Other airlines have their PBS awards before we even see the bid package. That's the real problem and a faster mainframe to run the PBS optimization is only a bonus and not the actual solution.

I used to remember making 1/2 of what we are making now and being to have our reserve days rolled to infinity and blah blah blah. Give me a break. For an FO, it's pitiful that their skeds can come out just 12 days before the start of a work month, where one might need to know what's going on for planning purposes. NO reason this shouldn't come out at least another week or two earlier WITHOUT giving up anything.

Move the whole thing forward several weeks. The "late" bids at sUA were one of the contract concessions to enable "marketing" more time to play with their schedule.

OK do you really want to fly with Captain **** or is it worth the sort and verification that your no-fly list actually gets considered.
I know let's do it this way; just allow the computer to make one run and then publish the results. Then let the buyer beware and individual pilot sort through the list of results and see if they got screwed or not.
If so let the results be grieved and sent to the system board for review two months later.
I'd say for most the five day wait has proven to be far less costly than letting the chips fall where they may.

How can it AVOID, or AWARD, trips with a particular Captain if the Captain's haven't been awarded their trips yet?
Also, a percentage of the trips awarded to LCAs are withheld from F/Os per the UPA. Can't withhold those trips until you know which trips will be awarded to the LCAs.
