As I see it the longer the ASA MEC keeps demanding their way without negotiating or even hearing the XJT MEC's opinion the more divided our voice to management will be. The ASA MEC is probably resorting to fear mongering and misinformation just to try to get their way.
Close. All it says in the XJTs contract was that "PBS will be studied and looked at", which is what they did. They came out with a report saying "Based on our research, this is the PBS system we feel is the best".
Apparently this Joe guy feels hurt because it wasn't ASAs system. What he doesn't realize is that PBS will never pass with this group.
I agree 1000%! There's no way that pbs will see the light of day beyond secondary bid (reserves and such). Our current systems is leaps and bounds ahead than most pbs softwares for QOL. The reason te company doesn't like it, is because of the monthly transition cycles, and the fact that the pilots are in control with our system; thus I can make as much or as little as I want, or I can work as much or as little as I want relatively speaking as a line holder.
So ASA and any supporters of any form of pbs can shove it, we're not buying it!
