The XJT guys don't understand PBS and assume that the ASA system is terrible, just because. So they're grasping at straws to prove that their "system" is better. It's not.
I think most of us are going off of what our scheduling committee has said. They've done the research and published the cliff notes. They've invited and shown our pilots how each system works side by side with real current pairings. That gives them at least some credibility. If they say that flightline would be a decrease in QOL for us and that if any PBS is going to maintain at least the same QOL, it's smartpref, then I'm inclined to listen to them rather than the other side who wouldn't even consider our line bidding. So far I haven't heard anything from any side on how flightline is better than smartpref other than one thing, globalization (which can be mitigated with work rules if need be), and ignore everything else about the system.
Who is being unreasonable in all of this? The side who is open minded enough to even entertain PBS while we are happy with our line bidding or the side who has been intransigent and makes convenient assumptions just because it doesn't coincide with their original position, looking for reasons why it can't work?
