Life at Compass

I'm learning PBS one painful mistake at a time! There's actually a video of me putting in my bid from last month:

If only there were a group of pilots who volunteer to help people bid...oh wait.

To use as a resource?!

FWIW, the two emails I've sent to CPZ PBS over the last year did not get responses.

Contact me on here if you need any help. I've been trying to get involved with the PBS committee but it's been a slow process.

Oh, and don't ask @ian if I know what I'm talking about. When it comes to his bid, I don't.

@ian could get exactly what he bids for and a unicorn ride to the overnight hotel and he'd still find something to complain about.

im going to ask him to show me all of his bid preferences on Sunday.

"I want Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off."

"I want Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off."

i don't know why it's not being honored

 

[ian]

probably going to call in sick for thursday....don't know if i can stomach the captain......he's already threatened me via text

You can show me...I'm a doctor. We see everybody's bid preferences here.

"I want Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off."

Don't forget commutable trips, no AA flying, with avoiding layovers in all cities except FAT, no deadheads, and a layover time of exactly 17:34.

It's only going to get worse.

Well before I bid next month I suppose I'll ask for help here, then.

No, ask the PBS committee but make sure you don't wait until the night before bidding closes.

I think I'm just going to keep it very, very simple so I get what I need. Layer 1 Off nov 5 to 9. Max days off. Layer 2 in case I get reserve, Must off nov 5,6,7,8,9, waive 2 days off for reserve. Layer 3 prefer off nov 5, must 6, 7, 8, prefer 9. Just in case I don't get a buildup. No use for any other layer. Does anything stand out as being horribly wrong with that?

So hopefully this is only a short distraction from the lovely topic that is PBS strategy, but I have a query.

I'm LAX based and have managed to find a crash pad. Now my only problem is transportation. The owner of the place says it is about a 10 minute drive to the airport, which is swell, but i just really do NOT want to drive my car all the way out there. So my plan is to use Uber to get TO the airport. Piece of cake, but how do I get OUT of the airport with Uber.

Someone suggested to me that I can just ride one of the hotel vans then catch the uber from there. Is that doable? Do the van drivers care? Really, I guess, how are you LAX commuters doing it now?

 

[ian]

I use hotels since I do it so infrequently but I've seen some vans that say no uber/lyft riders on them. I don't see why you couldnt just get on one that doesnt say that and then order it from the hotel.

 

[Pachong]

Anyone have a turn around time for lax parking reimbursement?

Is the pad on the south side near the old hacienda?

If so take the 232 bus or the green line.

Hmm, honestly I don't know. I'll find out.

Looks like it is south of the airport in Hawthorne
