PBS – Bidding Heads Up for SEA and OAK Flying

Aloha LAX,

For the month of March again, we are seeing SEA and OAK pairings carrying higher credit values. Because of that, some Flight Attendants, especially those more junior, may need to use an Over Schedule set condition in order to be awarded the number of trips they are trying to build into their line.

Without the appropriate set condition, you may not be awarded enough flying to meet the minimum credit needed to hold a bid.

We strongly encourage everyone to use the practice awards to confirm your set conditions are working the way you intend and to catch any issues before awards are final.

If you have questions or want help reviewing your bid, please submit the PBS Line Inquiry Form and our team can assist. The PBS Committee also holds live Teams meetings to assist in bidding. Click here more details and link to live meeting.
