In determining bid lines, the Scheduling Committee attempts to keep lines consistent especially regarding days off, morning and afternoon trips, 2, 3, or 4 days trips, and many other factors.  However,  they must take into account Trip credit values, scheduling and marketing changes,  aircraft maintenance schedules, and holiday reductions when building lines.  

For scheduling concerns please contact Leslie Miller, Chris Rodkey, or Lexie Graham.

The committee is more than happy to clarify or suggestion possible optional pieces to management as well. 

Please contact the Uniform Committee if you have any suggestions, comments or concerns.
