PBS Reminders: Bidding as Both a Lineholder and a Reserve

Saturday, August 10, 2024

In PBS, there are certain scenarios where you will want to bid 7 layers as a Lineholder and 7 layers as a Reserve.

When PBS processing begins, if additional Lineholders are needed, those with Reserve status will be moved to Lineholder status and awarded a line of flying in the following order:

1. In seniority order, if you were Tentative status in the Lineholder Reserve Designator (LRD) and did not toggle to Reserve and are showing Reserve status in PBS.
2. In seniority order, if you were Reserve status in the LRD and toggled to Lineholder and are showing Reserve status in PBS.
3. In inverse seniority order, if you were Reserve status in the LRD and did not toggle to Lineholder and are showing Reserve status in PBS.

You may view more information on the LRD process here.
