Roster publication?

Hi, I would appreciate all your comments... I'm a consultant (not pilot) and have tried to find if FAR rules establish when a roster should be published (EASA says "rosters should be published14 days in advance") but haven't found anything regarding FAR... So it don't say anything and it's up to the companies to determine that? When is your roster published?

Thanks!!!

I'm not aware of any government (FAA) mandate that monthly schedules be published at/by a certain time. If the pilots are represented by a union, they may have a voice via some contractual obligation in that regard.

An example of an ALPA contract at a US legacy carrier contains this language:

"A pilot’s adjusted line for the following bid period will be available to the pilot via DBMS at or before 1800E on the 17th of the month."

I'm told the "line" (their word for roster) is often available ahead of that contract-required date.

But the Imperial Federal Kakistocracy didn't have their slimy hands on that.

Interesting! That's good to know, at least in Mexico is something like that, when -in some cases- rosters are published 3 days before the 1st day of the month...

Every US airline will be different. Looking at my old job’s new contract, the company must post the bids by 12z on the 15th of the month. Bidding closes 12z on 18th and the company has to post awards by the end of the 18th. Then a second round of bidding starts on the 22nd for 24 hours. When pilots bid the first set of lines and they have vacation or training days that conflict with the flying the crew planners remove those flights and create new lines that are mashups of the leftovers from the first bid. Some pilots, usually junior seniority, who don’t like their choices in the first bid package can bid to be in the leftover lines. That bid closes on the 23rd and the complete schedule for everyone is published by 17z on the 24.
