And our PBS guy is definitely top-notch. Most regionals I am familiar with, including my last one, had 2+ people on full-time union buy to do the same amount of work, communication, help, etc.. And they didn't exhibit nearly the same level of helpfulness and feedback.
Our ALPA has its problems--MagPBS is not one of them.
Thank you. ALPA releases are fairly transparent to anyone looking at the wide report in PBS (the pdf's that go up on the pilot lounge).
I get 6 days a month on the months I'm doing training AND running PBS and 4 days a month when just running PBS. Consider in one way shape or form I am working PBS issues from the 13-25th. Obviously not constantly, but between emails, phone calls, base visits, award window, etc. I'm committed to PBS about 12 days a month.
