The way it was explained to me, it sounded like there was a fair amount of human interaction with the lines once the Captains received their schedules. Dunno...

Pretty sure that is not correct....at least with the current system.

Which is another concern of PBS... not transparent enough.

Not really complaining... too much I guess. Just seems like it is too convoluted and slow. I'm sure it could be worse.

I don't think so.

There may be some verification steps done after the Captain awards are complete before the F/O run begins but I don't know.

The F/O run will take somewhat longer than the Captain run just because there are more F/Os than Captains.

It would be nice if the process timeline was moved up a few days so that the awards were complet sooner. Also, keep the F/O bids open until the Captain's award is about to come out. No reason to cut the F/Os off a couple of days before their award will start to process.
