Maybe im one of the lucky ones... here at XJT as a hardline holder... I have not talked to Crew scheduling on the phone in over a year!! I know what im bidding for, I know the overnights that I am looking for, I know the days that I want to bid off. I consistantly trade trips for the better, I can get multiple days off in a row with our line improvement window. Usually, do 3 on 4 off... I sometimes with coverage in the line improvement window can trade a 4 day with a 2 day and have more days off a month and pickup when a trip looks good enough to work. The flexibility with a line is great! Maybe im just the lucky ones then... would love to know more about a good PBS system though, but hard to see how a great PBS system can be better than what I have been able to do for years.
yea... im not that senior either, as long as u hold a line, then its great! But, it sounds like you have a good system as well. This is where we come together and make it good. Sounds like we can bring good things to the table and you guys can as well and combine them. Can you drop trips down to like 20 days off and then look at opentime later and pickup trips as you please? thats what i like... for example, lets say you get a 4 on 3 off schedule.. can u take that 4 day and make it a 2 day if you please and have a week where you fly 2 days and have 5 straight days off? thats what i do here and i dont want to lose that flexibility and if i choose to work alot, i would pick up...If you are senior enough to do all that, then in theory, you should be able to do the same with possibly MORE options in our PBS system.
The question remains what kind of games will the company impose, like the red arrow days, that will work around the intent of the PBS language.
Time will tell.
I'm sick of xjet guys swinging their dicks and talking about how great their contract is. On FI and in person.
The best revenge would be to better their contract.
Ya think?
