I did say No pay cuts -- at least not to hourly rates.

We may have to sorta agree to disagree on that one, though. PBS, while certainly a concession, will not necessarily affect everyone's paycheck.

I bid days off/QOL, and therefore I think it's been a really, really long time since I've had a paid removal in transition. Actually, I'd have to think long and hard about when I was last removed from any flying with pay -- it's been that long.

For sure, the guys who bid massive transition conflicts and get removed from 20hrs of flying each month -- all paid -- are going to be in for a nasty hit when PBS goes live.

There's training conflicts, too, but for Captains that's a twice a year one-time hit. FOs, once a year.
