bid awards

How far in advance does your regional give out your next months schedule?

ASA: Line awards usually come out on the 16th, required by the 19th, final schedules by the 27th.

 

[air cowboy]

thanks. There must me others out there that get it before the 27th though.

At CHQ the bids open on the 12th and awards come out on the 19th......no secondary awards. Twice in the last three months the bids were a few days late. First time it happened in 3+ yrs I'm here.

eagle: lines out usually on 15th or 16th (sometimes earlier) and bids come out on the 20th or 21st. there is a 72hr window to drop, trip trade, etc that opens five days after the close of the bids and lasts, surprisingly, 72 hours.

if you are awarded a relief or composite line (lines made up of vacations, training, open time, etc) you will know your schedule just before the 72hr window opens.

At Chuck Norris Airlines, everyone sits "roundhouse kick" reserve. You get notified of a trip by a roundhouse kick to the face 30 seconds before report time.

XJT, for line holders the bid packs usually come out on the 1st or 2nd, for the next month, 3rd at the latest. For June, it was May 3rd. CA's closed on the 8th, FO's on the 9th. They usually close 8am CT and and you know what you got within the hour. Of course, this is before any carry in/training/vacation conflicts. CA scheds final on the 15th, FO's on the 16th.

For secondary bid, thats reserve and relief lines (or composite, secondary, build up, make up, mix, whatever your company call them) packets came out on the 17th, closed on the 21st, final award on the 30th.

Can't remember the contractual language, but the above is pretty standard for any given month.
