ASA PBS Goes LIVE!

[OCP]

Someone tell me how one can bid without knowing the credit of preexisting activities? I had seven days of my month with stuff like a checkride and a carry-over trip but NO value put on those things by flica PBS.

Is this megaturd set up to make you credit 75 hours of flying PLUS whatever you had on there to begin with?? Say it ain't so!!

So you never asked anyone about this before for the months that you could have asked and now are worried about it since it's live? Good planning.
All your credits will go into making up the total value that you select.

Difference? I do not see any. Same 15 hour three days. They bumped up the four days to 19 hours.

Union says Delta is to blame for low credit trips due to the short flights the 50 has been scheduled. Sounds about right to me. What's our longest flight these days, MDT? Hope everyone likes 5 legs days

So I have to take time to add everything up outside of PBS and then bid? Would it be that hard to put the preexisting credits in the preview window so you don't have to whip out the calculator? This isn't a major inconvenience, but it seems this could have been written into the program.

So i guess ASA is going to wait till tomorrow at 5pm to publish the lines even tho the IAD guys and gals didn't get to rebid. They should have gotten ours done first and let us see what crap they came up with.

Of course its deltas fault. It certainly has to be someone other than alpa.......who's fault will it be next month?

Yep-

And Delta didn't give us the flying which resulted in sweet high-block three days on the Brasilia or the ATR, did they?

-People are so eager to believe that our own union didn't f- all of us on this one. It is always someone else's fault.

(BTW-I sincerely hope you MFs are enjoying the 6hrs PER DAY credit we voted for you by passing PBS! I hope the free lunches are delicious as well. These days are numbered.)

Ya same with the ATL 70 guys too. Lame. Publish it already.

What does rebidding or not have to do with it? Per the LOA, the final schedules aren't required to be posted any sooner than 1700 on the 20th. I wouldn't expect them to be beating the deadline by much on the first live month.

I believe it says "no later than...".

Sweet high block 3 days on the brasilia and ATR equal crap low block 3 days on the jet. The 50 doesn't do high block legs like HPN or YYZ anymore. It's sad that MDT or CHO are now 'long' legs. Looks like if a 200 pilot wants to fly a high block/credit schedule, that pilot needs to bid the 700/900 or IAD

Apparently, you didn't read the whole LOA or the Updates. It appears, the first 3 months, they have the option to extend it a day so all you morons have more time to bid.

Do you live in a cave? Delta is shortening the average stage length to put the squeeze on 50 seat operaters. Less miles mean less revenue for a plane that becomes more unprofitable. Then, a 2 for 1 trade to get rid of the 50's becomes more lucrative. ALPA does not determine what the stage length will be. Who does?
