Not everyone is as senior as you. Quit bragging and look at the bigger picture. PBS is a turd for a majority of the group. Even the IAD base has crumby pairings to include sub-17-hour (credit) four-day trips. Enjoy.
My fear is that a schedule cannot be completed with even crappy 4 days. If these March pairings run without getting fixed, I think we would see that scenario happen for the majority of us. You have to give the system enough credit to complete your line, or it can do very creative things to you.
Plug low enough credit trips in there, and we will all be in "select all remaining pairings." I am not being alarmist, that sort of thing can really happen. (For those not yet familiar, this would mean that the system would get to throw out all our preferences for days off and trips, and we would be scheduled any way the system wished.) "Efficiency" and "Flexibility" to the max!! We are wide open for abuse!
(Does anyone else think that the company would not bother to lift a finger in regards to helping us fix the pairings ever again, if XJET signed onto this garbage?)
-I just pray that XJET reps have some kind of spine....
