It is a manning efficiency tool for the Company. My guess is that with PBS the company would become instantly overmanned by a minimum of 10%, probably more like 15% depending on how hard they want to crank it up. Anyone who says it can be a good thing never worked under our system or doesn't understand our Vacation, recurrent training or Carry over system. You can put a Tuxedo and Lipstick on a Toad, but it is still a toad!
Remember, if the Company proposes it or wants it, it is Very BAD for us.
Just say NO and lets move on. We all know it is a deal breaker.
All good points. Of course we did give away most of our recurrent conflict language in contract 2006 in return for capability to bid for training slots. And lots of guys defended it as hey it good the company can be more efficient, win win was the phrase I believe. Win win is how most of the defenders of C/O defend it too. So never overestimate the intelligence of the electorate.
