Ive said it before and Ill say it again. How can you knock it and you havnt even tried it?? This PBS system is different from the ones you are used to. And we have an open time window after the schedules come out, so this whole being stuck with what you get, is simply not true.
AGAIN, from what I can tell, the "legacy" expressjet guys on here are making it seem like no one ever works weekends or holidays with their system. NO ONE. Who works your schedules during that time? I dont get it. As bad as it is, JUNIOUR guys typically work the unwanted trips. THATS WHY THEY ARE JUNIOR. We have all been there. It is part of the seniority system. You dont put in X amount of years at a company to work weekends and holiday (or whatever the case may be).
I for one am a BIG fan of PBS. I have had a large improvement in my QOL since we got it. With that said, I have not tried the legacy expressjet system. So I cant knock it at all. In fact, I know NOTHING about it. All I can comment about is PBS, because that is what I know. I request some of you do the same.
