Expressjet Globalized PBS?

[79%N1]

the Co DOESN'T want open time, or as little of it as possible, hence PBS

And yet XJT guys would want an open time pot WITH PBS. Doesn't make sense, and won't happen.

Not exactly, the secondary/relief lines take care of it and leave less reserve pilots than you might believe. And a point that often gets neglected is this; What happened in December on the CRJ when the XJT pairing generator was used on the ASA side and a more efficient sort/solution was run? It created a crap ton MORE reserve pilots than before. And sadly, that wasn't even the most efficient sort/solution that COULD have been used.

On the 700 capt side there were 5 or 6 pairings with illegal overnights built in that the computer could not award to complete schedules with vacation or training.

Hence a couple xtra reserve guys...

NOPE, the 200 had way more productive pairings than previous. So maybe the 700 saw a "couple" extra reserves, the 200 say way more than before.

In my discussions with the scheduling committee members they said we wouldn't want a ton of open time after the bid but also not allow it to allow no open time. A ton of open time would be a deal breaker for me as well. You are correct, if the pairing is still there no one wanted it bad enough to bid it.

Xjet line bidding, lots of open time, reserve open time pick up within 48 hours. Anything else is a no vote.

PS There is no way for the crj guys to vote on this website. Can you fix that?

Doubt there is any chance of a contract without PBS, its industry standard now.

Unless the majority vote no.
