Mmmm. Mango chicken.
I had a controller tell me to go faster in DTW yesterday. I told him we could pull over if he wanted. I won't taxi at an unsafe speed.
But for real..... Can someone explain this PBS stuff to me?

Preferential Bidding System.
It's either your best friend or your worst enemy depending on software, implementation, QC and...well, why the company wants it in the first place.
What about Flicka? I need a crash course on that now. I'm just gonna bid for specific trips next month. Ya know, for the 5 days I'm going to be here.....Seriously. Pm me and I'll give you the PBs number (or look at previous crewtrac messages we have sent). We have a "special" for the colgan folks... You call (and be in front of a computer) and we will get you all set up and be realistic as to where you sit on the seniority list. All weekends off won't work as a junior line holder, we will be blunt if that's the case to "manage" expectations.... Give it 15-20 mins and we will get you into a common understanding with the program 1:1. Everyone else is free to call, most have figured it out, some still think its a conspiracy. It's not, but they are never wrong.
Congrats on finally getting out of this mess of an airline. Hopefully the rest of us will be following you to a better place.What about Flicka? I need a crash course on that now. I'm just gonna bid for specific trips next month. Ya know, for the 5 days I'm going to be here.....
#protip: Don't ask anyone junior to you.
I love telling senior people how great reserve is. Helps me get a line!

Really? Here at SKW, LCRs get USED!!!!"yeah instead of that sweet line, you could bid LCR with single days off, you'd never get used! They never ever use me when I'm LCR"
"really? Maybe i'll try that next month"
it's that easy folks.

It's awesome when you know everyone on reserve in base and you swap stories as scheduling calls for assignments and you call them out on their BS. They just say grieve it. It's no wonder reserves just wanna go out and fire bomb a building after being on the phone with those morons.
Reserve would be a little less stressful if we could have some transparency and watch as the reserves get used up so we can have at least a little predictability in our schedules. I know my friend said ExpressJet had something like this when he was still there on the ASA side.
Like I said though... if you're senior to me, reserve is AWESOME!!!!!!1
