Asa pbs ta

[JoeMerchant]

Well we can stop debating whether or not we want PBS....There is a TA on it.

 

[EV120]

And we all know all about how it will work since they kept us so well informed along the way.

Maybe I can get my 2day trips back.

 

[HoserASA]

Beat me to it Joe. Still has to be voted in by the pilots if I understand correctly?

Hoser
ROLL TIDE!

 

[enuffalready]

deets please

 

[EV120]

You were to busy on another forum.

 

[JoeMerchant]

You were to busy on another forum.

....probably the "alternative lifestyle" forum....:laugh:

 

[mtsupilot]

Don't vote no. VOTE; HELL NO!!!!!!

 

[anon]

Congratulations ASA.

Being the only DCI carrier without PBS was not a good thing. This will put ASA in a more competitive position for future growth.

 

[JoeMerchant]

Don't vote no. VOTE; HELL NO!!!!!!

Do you have a reason?

 

[jstyle13]

I'm sure they just expect us to vote it in without anything in exchange. As a junior capt on reserve(and I don't expect to get off anytime soon), I don't expect to be excited about anything PBS has to offer.

 

[SLUF4]

Do we even get to vote on it? It sounds like a done deal from the email I read.

 

[maxcackel]

Where's F'n Alpa with an email. Mushrooms in the dark. This will be my last straw with the current Reps.

 

[EV120]

Apparently the "server is busy". Whatever.

I am wondering how this will play out politically in the elections. Will credit be taken, and a vote rushed to keep people in office?

 

[Raoul Duke]

PBS is so much better than published lines. Park your horse and buggy, quit watching silent movies, stop sending telegrams and welcome a scheduling system that you have some input in.

 

[anon]

Time for some new blood in ALPA at ASA.

I can't even imagine anything they could offer to make me vote in PBS. Just ask any CAL pilot about it. This is not going to make us competitive. This will only make a dent in our cost but make a crater in our QOL. I know I know, I have not even seen it yet. But like I said I can't even imagine.
It is also interesting that the union has been so quite but to say how far away they are from a TA, then the elections get close and now we have a TA. Did the current MEC start to think they would not win reelection and wanted control over what was in the TA? Is it because the more senior MEC would be the one's to benefit the most from it? Just some thoughts. VOTE NO!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

I thought the PBS group was disbanded, and the thing was dead in the water? Hmmm.

 

[Jorgy50]

Where are the deets. And what in the h - e - double hockey sticks are they proposing to give to us in return for a HUGE QOL decrease. That's a big fat NO vote for me. Ask anyone in the lower 2/3's seniority at any carrier if PBS works for them.

 

[1080P]

So we get 28 hrs for a week of vacation hmmm ......

Ask any COA pilot and yeah they hate it. Ask any DAL pilot and they really like it. It depends on what we get. Lets wait for the details.
