#2. We at Virgin will almost definitely end up with less efficient trips when we start flying more shorter segments in the Alaska system.

#3. If we want to keep the credit up and thus our high number of days off, the only way to do that is with trip and duty rigs.

#4. Publicly stating on a message board that management can read, that you are trying to SELL PBS to your coworkers undercuts our negotiators.

#5. The appropriate way to have this discussion is directly with your reps or via confidential polling.
