YUP! It's all in what you get in the language. Between the language and learning to bid properly, I was happy with what I got! I spent 80% of my time on RSV at ASA when I was employed at ASA, however I was able to turn a one week worth of vacation to 2.5-3weeks off most of the time with PBS. Do that to three weeks of vaca and that's almost 25% of yr off.

As a line holder I always wanted to work over the weekend so getting a decent line wasn't bad either....but like I said its all about language and learning to bid properly...I hope we get PBS here at US/American.

On the other note, I don't see any problem with company trying to be efficient to run a business. It's our (unions) job to get good language in the contract. I guess we will wait and see on what happens, line bidding takes too much of my off time to sort thru stuff, on the other hand tell PBS what you want and it will do as much as it can to get you almost ALMOST all of your wishes depending on your seniority. And you can xfer one month of bids to the other and tweak it. So there is no sorting thru lines every month to see what you want to bid.

That's just my point of view, you don't have to agree with it.
