What's the "value" to management?
No matter what system you use to bid (paper, PBS, etc.), the trips constructed must be flown by someone. I disagree with the senior :erm: NAC negotiators: PBS DOES NOT MEAN FEWER PILOT JOBS. Someone still has to do the work created by the company.
When I was hired at AWA, PBS just started. We hired like gangbusters! If we vote in PBS and make sure that we have minimum fleet and hours addressed.....NO FURLOUGHS. If we really got with the program and stopped trying to dodge the Nicolau (be still my heart), maybe management might have time to work on growth & development plans (since they won't have to worry about who is wearing what lanyard).
Chuck; you're a sharp guy.....stop buying into ALL of the USAPA bull-honkey.
PBS allows for fewer pilots because it doesn't allow for conflict bidding with training, vacation, or carry in pairings. Same amount of flying, but with less pilots to cover known conflicts. This is why companies love PBS, it is most efficient for them.
AND we get the Kirby Proposal
You do understand that this "proposal" comes with huge erosion in scope (basically no scope)? So none of us (east and west) would have jobs after they gut all the domestic flying.
I don't think they really understand that garbage millionaire president's proposal at all. You guys need to stop looking at the small increase in pay and understand the more important parts of your Sir Kirby proposal.
