As has been repeated on this thread, pref bid's dire effects on vacation, and many other QOL factors, cannot be compensated for with $ (hopefully the majority sees it that way). I hope something bright and shiny isn't offered in return for pref bidding, because our majority might be blinded by it, and take the bait. "Resist temptation" will be the call
I first heard about his PBS rumor a few weeks ago and I wrote an email to the Negotiators and Scheduling guys telling them what I heard. I quickly got an email back and the response was that they had heard of this rumor and my email was forwarded to many in the Union. I am a 100% against PBS, and I let them know that. I was asked to professional educate my fellow pilots why I don't want PBS. I will do that. All I can say is write your union reps and let them know your feelings too.
