Why is PBS tied to this? I bitched about PBS until it was voted in at my airline. It is the absolutely best thing that has ever happened from a scheduling perspective. Substantially more days off (19+) and consistent 95 hour lines
I agree 100%. This PBS is really awesome. I think pilots don't want it because if it's something the company wants then it must be bad. While it's good for the company, it's great for the pilots.
Since having this I've hardly used my vacation time, I have more time off, my QOL has gone up, I have much, much more flexibility, you can bid the cities you want to layover in or avoid, pick your show and release times (it's great for commuters), buddy bid or avoid a crewmember and I still fly the same hours as before there was PBS. And there's probably another 50 parameters you can enter into PBS for your bid. But you also have to be reasonable on what you can bid at your senority level.
