Trading with another pilot is only one facet....I take a 7 day block and break it up...1 vac day 2 work days 1 vac day....gives you 14 days off for 7....makes you illegal to pick back up which we are required to do....makes a good solid 60 hr month with 20 days off.....I dont need to "wait and see"....Alaska Airlines negotiates in bad faith.....They always have.....PBS will be the final blow to what was once a great job....
