The training part of PBS needs a major overhaul. Having to do AQP and only receiving 16 hours for 4 days really screws your schedule, especially if you have it during the summer when the window is higher. At a minimum we need 20 hrs, prolly more like 22.
See we don't deal with any of this bull**** with line bidding, and more importantly our contract language is very specific about it.
I honestly see why you guys think you have it good; your previous contract was such a piece of ****, that anything would've been an improvement. Well after reading both contracts I can tell all of you that there's only two things that the ASA contract have over the XJT contract. So you guys owe it to yourselves to educate yourselves, your MEC won't do it because their lips are stuck to management's ass. So take it upon yourselves to do the research, it will be eye opening.
The main reason why we will never see PBS on the combined company is because the company will never include our contractual language/protections in the system, because defeats the purpose for them. For every XJT pilot PBS is and will always be a concession, and non of us are willing to take hit for asa or management or anyone else. So deal with it, we have about 1000 more votes.
