June schedule value variances and bid info

 June Bidding Notes

                Summer A-Days

In preparation for summer operations, the A-Days percentage used to determine how many A-Days are planned for the system will increase from where it has been over the last few months.  In addition, A-Days are determined as a percentage of block hours, so as the summer increase in block hours occurs, the total number of A-days allocated will also increase.  As a result of these two events, if you held A-Days or were close to holding A-Days over the past few months, please bid A-Day start dates accordingly.

Bid Tip

As a reminder, domestic cross staffing begins in June.  How does this affect your bid?  If you use the aircraft type bid preference, you may want to review this preference by utilizing the CBS filter to make sure it is still capturing the trips you want.
