And PBS is a non-starter for most on the ERJ side. There is NO scenario that I know of where PBS is not a concession. If PBS for all is the one, single thing that management wants from this contract, then they had better be ready to compensate me through work-rule improvements or pay rates for that concession. Up to this point, they don't seem willing to discuss that so...here we are.
If this management group was serious about "cost competitiveness" then they can start by fixing some of the systemic inefficiencies that riddle this company. Ever since this merger, it has been one example of management buffoonery trumped by another and I, for one, am tired of subsidizing it with my paycheck and QOL. Period. And if that means the JCBA gets dragged out, so be it. Because I am not accepting a piece-of-junk contract just so we can all hold hands at the kool-aid fountain, proclaiming our love of PBS as one, big happy family while Jerry and friends laugh all the way to the bank. Nope, ain't gonna happen.

Agreed. I am tired of beating my head against the wall. I know I have been engaging a few individuals and quoted a few here, but I want it understood that the level of frustration I (and, anecdotally, I don't think I am alone on the ERJ-side) feel is not directed at the pilots on the CRJ-side. Instead its management and the two NCs that I have the beef with. Some on the CRJ side get it, some don't. Show me a TA and then we can have a real conversation.
