BTW SkyWest PBS is the worst!
I know, some of you will say he didn't bid correctly, but between globalization and complexity our PBS sucks!
Forget seniority?
This is what happens we you have inefficient trips, you want to make the pilots suffer for the inefficient trips, besides the fact they have nothing to do with the trip inefficiencies. Then force their bids to unreasonable standards which are not known before the bid starts. Make sure there is no other way to get a day off without calling in sick, and you have the perfect PBS/SS combination.
SAPA VP says he is working on bid transparencies. I look forward to reading that with the reserve proffering TA that is almost ready to roll out since Fall of 2008.
