Like manflex says, cannot trust management with so much power.
Never said I was pro-PBS, simply suggesting that with the right monetary incentive (40% payraise) and contract language, it doesn't need to be wholly discounted. Yes, I've worked under PBS. It was a huge concession and everything everyone has said about the deterioration of QOL and lack of transparency is accurate.

So you're saying that there is a per/hour rate that you might consider PBS? That's all I dared to suggest as well. I think we all know though, that the company will never offer us anything close to the rates to make the suggestion of PBS anything other than laughable, so this is all really a non-issue.
PBS sucks. Spirit 3 year FOs making 50k less per year than their legacy contemporary also sucks.
