Make no mistake, with our vacation day trading, PBS is a concession. There is a reason why the company wants it and PBS was forced at many other carriers via bankruptcy. Reduced staffing = $$$. Having had my QOL screwed up by PBS in a previous life, a 5 hour minimum daily guarantee (not a trip rig) would be a must...otherwise tell the company to pack sand. At AK we don't enjoy the luxury of so many transcons like VX.
