Hookah,
A bunch of the things you mention as a part of PBS, trading/dropping trips, picking trips with certain layovers, dense pairings. . . etc. are not exclusive to PBS. Here at SWA we can do the same thing without PBS. Which carrier do you fly for? By the tone of your post PBS at your place isn't that bad???
Just curious, if you want to drop a trip without pay and it keeps you above 70 hours, is it guaranteed to drop or does it depend on some type of company net hour count or reserve coverage?
Never said they were exclusive to PBS... just said that w/ PBS you could do that... you SWA guys get edgy too quickly. I fly for B6... not to say that some of us don't get jumpy as well. To get to your question... a drop is not guaranteed. If there is enough reserve numbers available on that date or dates of your requested drop then the system will give it to you. It's not seniority dependent. First come, first served. There isn't a system out there that will let you drop no matter what... if that was the case every airline who did it would not have a single pilot working Christmas... I think PBS is great. I don't see a system that would work any better.
