Concessions is an open statement. The ERJ guys are saying that PBS is a concession, only because they want the ability to intentionally bid high credit trips that conflict with vacation and/or training, which will be dropped and pay protected.
While I agree that it is nice, I don't think that should be able to be done. Maybe it's just my work ethic, but I believe you should work to be paid, not get paid not to work.
It has nothing to do with work ethics. For example, someone who maximizes their time off with their vacation week may go ahead and pick up a few trips during those days off and end up with 12 days off and 125 hours of credit. Would you say that person has a lack of work ethic?
Everyone's work rules are just a way to calculate your compensation. You do what you want with your days off, whether that is working more or spending it with their children.
