Sure you may get what you're saying at ExpressJet, but with PBS those types of schedules are for the senior guys while the junior ones are left with crap lines and 11 days off. And everyone else claiming they have SAP, has a reserve grid that restricts how many pilots can drop trips and move stuff around, PSA does not have that. It's unrestricted.While I'm no cheerleader for the SAP or PSA, it annoys me when guys who don't understand how it really works start talking like it's nothing and their company has it as well.

Only the CRJ side has pbs. The ERJ side has good line building rules, good vacation rules, good trading rules including the initial line improvement window and the secondary line improvement window with bad day worse day trades. These are all things that all line holders can take advantage of although not all line holders can get Halloween and Super Bowl Sunday off.
