Trying to figure out what to bid. What number on the 7/9 still holds a line?
Looking for the CA side in ATL.

You can't look at the last guy to get a line, you have to look at the first guy who is given reserve (most probably not by choice). That's because PBS allows junior guys with preassigned credits (vacation, training) to hold lines ahead of more senior guys without such credits. So if you look at the list there will be a section where there's a mix of some guys getting reserve and some guys getting lines; you need to be ahead of this whole section if you want to reliably hold a line.


Yeah that is why I was looking for real input. The thing on xjet only shows the last line, not the first reserve.

Yeah, you're right.

If I go to flica and click on "view final bid submitted", I can see that I was "x" out of 220 (not 200) for September, but the final number for November showed only 195 total, and that number will be something completely different in the future. Unfortunately I don't know how to get it to show that number if you're not on the airplane; I guess you could keep asking someone who is on the plane.
 
Sept, last one to get a line was #184 out of 200. Really only 16 people on reserve?

Likely had pre assigned credit and became (in L-XJT's term) a "Lucky Lineholder". I sure there were quite a few senior to him that didn't get lines

It's useless to look at current lines when 12 more planes are coming. Just take the maximum pilots shown on the position notice and times by .8 to be conservative. If you will sit at that number or higher up on the seniority list, then you will be a Lineholder.
