Nope the old hard line system is what was really broke. PBS fixed that. Huh, and here I thought every pilot group that is being pushed to get PBS is trying to stick to hard lines. You are in the minority here. No more boring predictable months doing the same thing over and over. No more having to sacrifice an entire month just to get days off you need. No more having to do stricty standups, 2-days, 3-days or 4-days. I have gained a lot since PBS has come on board. Vacation accrual is not compatible with the new vacation bidding system under PBS. CN code has screwed MANY pilots by making them fly when they were senior enough to hold those days off under the old system, and best of all? NO JR MAN PAY!! I can live with the new cancellation policy. After all you can't be in two places at once correct? As long as we are guaranteed what we were supposed to make I am ok with that. You can't be getting paid to do nothing all the time. The new interpretation is correct. If they go back to the old way I most certainly will not complain however. It's not my fault that they agreed to pay us the way they had, but they DID agree. If they want to change it, they need to give us something in return. Lately it's been all take and no give. The fact is diversions happen pretty rarely. I have not had one in a few months now. Once again, it's all about you. You are the most selfish poster I have seen yet on this site. And that's saying a lot. What is ALPA exactly going to do to fix that? Grieve it and hear back a year or two later? ALPA wouldn't have to fix it: we would have a contract. That means that both parties are legally bound to uphold their agreement, unlike what we have now. And where did you get "a year or two?" Do you think SkyWest's system is any better? I've filed some complaints that took about a year. How many PICs have you filed? By that time a lot of the pilots affected would probably be gone to another airline so its a moot point anyway. The grievance system is broke
