Yeah 3% baby, where do I vote yes.
I'm trying very hard to see where you're coming from - and I just don't get it. Why would I want an extra helping of something I know to be bad if it's made a little better? The hard lines get worse every month, there is no logical reason to believe that VTOs will be made so much better that half of us will be happy to have them.
A VTO is a line built from loose trips and R-Days. THAT IS PBS!!!!!! You can say whatever you like about "improving the VTO rules", but if we were to successfully keep this type of line building technology under control, we would be the first pilot group to successfully do so. Every MEC with PBS has tried, none have been successful.
There is no question in my mind that this is simply a shot at our vacation. PBS style line building decimates vacations. Additionally, I don't think half of the crew force wants to get their schedule on the 27th of the month.
There are so many reasons to be opposed to this. I just don't see the silver lining here.
By the way, I have worked under PBS. I am not just speculating here.
