Default Does UPS ASA = PBS ?

I've never seen preferential bidding, but looking at the Automated Schedule Adjustments it looks like UPS might be installing the foundation for PBS. Am I wrong about this?

And please, don't comment unless you hold an IPA card.

They may be installing a pipe dream, this probably is the software for computerized trip trades with open time.
PBS at UPS , cold day in he)). A strike issue with the membership.

Yes, you are wrong. Automated Schedule Adjustments are part of the 2006 contact. See Section 17 of your contract for complete info.

PBS is Preferential Bidding System, and would require a complete rewrite of Section 13.

Not even Apples to Oranges comparison.

And it is bothersome how little some of us know about our 5 year old contract ... just thinking out loud. Myself included !

Not even close. We are just moving trip trading into the 20th century. Every other airline out there have had computerized automatic trip trading for at least 10 years,

That should mean that we shouldn't have to worry about PBS for about 30 more years. LOL

Yes, I know how late the ASA is per our contract. But looking at the demo, I got that uncomfortable feeling (like creepy organ music in a movie) where, you know, like the company is doing one thing but they are really doing something else.

I hope that I am wrong. In over 10 years the M*+#erF¥€%ers have not once granted a trip trade request.

Thumbs down

For all the moles and management reading this. Ups will never have PBS bidding even if they have to shut this hell whole over this issue. REMEMBER, NEVER.

It's not even close to PBS. This is a good thing. Albeit, about 4 years late. How have you never had a trip trade approved? In the 5 years I've been here I've been granted every one that was contractual/legal. This actually takes the "human factor" out of it. Plus it's nice not waiting until the next day to know the results.
It's sad that we work for a company that has made us so jaded even the good things are looked upon with great suspicion.

Not one trade.

You are my hero, you give me hope.
