Trips are bad?!? How so? The trips are highly productive with high credit, which allows more days off. Last time you were complaining about low credit trips and high min credit threshold.
And a TON of reduced rest overnights

Pick your poison. Do you want more days off, or 32 hour overnights?
This is PRECISELY why I chose to use the word "systems" with an S at the end which makes it plural. It was referencing not only the pairing generator but ALSO the line construction. Together they were shown to be better than your PBS.
Yay! 8 and 7 legs a day! woohoo!
fck that!
Do you know the difference between a pair generator and PBS?
Nope, 5 max stupid,
-At least some of the XJET guys are actually looking at our system and attempting to negotiate for better. For exapmle, they seem to understand that the PBS software is only part of the picture. Unless we get control over pairing construction, our system will never get better.
Our PBS has a whole bunch of flaws, and we could have done a lot better. Hopefully XJET will use whatever leverage we have to fix some of these "oversights." Our guys sure as hell won't do anything but provide excuse after excuse for poorer and poorer agreements.
XJT has long stage lengths. That is why they can have less legs for more block, NOT because of how we bid our schedules!
The reason ASA guys aren't much interested in XJTs line bid system IMHO is simple. Aside from the fact that's it's nice to set all your parameters and basically pull out the schedule you want from the available pairings instead of combing through hundreds of lines looking for the ones that contain hopefully most of the things you want is.....the basic thing you like best is your ability to dump all the crap in that line you dont want, and then rebuild your schedule the way you want (which is what we aim to do initially with PBS) from a huge pot of open time. But, we know how your new management team works here. They are all about restricting your ability to control things. They will restrict your (our) ability to swap with low coverage, red arrows, restricted days, etc. They will eliminate the open time pot, whatever it takes to limit the high cost of giving more people more days off by trading 14 days off for a 15 day off schedule.. This is how they work. We've seen it. So all we're left with is line bidding, which in many peoples opinion is inferior to the PBS bidding process.
We all get the stuff about the need for less pilots and stuff and can agree on those points. I just have a hard time believing Brad and Jerry will ever agree to your swapping, dropping, LIW's and better day stuff. It's not in their DNA. If they do agree to that and it's the collective will of the bunch to go with that, then great. I'm all ears. I'll take the 20% raise while we are at it.
