This week on Union Break, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about—and often frustrating—topics for flight attendants: bidding. Joined by LEC VP Virginia Fritz, we break down how bidding has evolved, especially with the changing flying patterns in SFO, and what that means for your schedule.

From understanding how to use the analyzer to building smarter bids in an unpredictable pairing environment, Virginia shares practical strategies that can help you take back control of your schedule no matter your seniority. We also go behind the scenes of the PBS process, revealing how bids are actually built, why it takes time, and the collaborative effort between the union and the company to create the “least bad” solution each month.

Whether you’re new to bidding or looking to refine your approach, this episode is packed with real talk, helpful tips, and a few laughs along the way.

Because at the end of the day—you’re not alone out there, we are all in this together! Together We Are Better!
