PBS is good at making the lower 90% of schedules suck, so at first you will not notice, you will be happy just to be here. But as time goes on you understand why some people make the difficult choice to commute. When you consider commuting for QOL from Atlanta, that says something.
ALPA fixed some serious issues with the FAR 117 negotiations that take effect in September. I'm going to give it a month or three to see how those pan out into line flying. But, something has to be done to avoid 21 days with 2 off schedules that PBS can crank out (ask about "coverage awards" in indoc).
Bar,
I have been doing quite well under PBS but either way I imagine the bid awards may change a little when the 5+15 ADG kicks in this November.
Theoretically if someone works 15 days in a row with an ADG of 5+15 they are already at 78:45 and should have a big chunk of off days.
