Well, I guess it's great for you. Awesome.
The reality is that the union has very little ACTUAL CONTROL. If it did, the union would be able to mandate that PBS honor seniority. We have no problem honoring seniority when it comes to vacancy bids, displacement bids, and vacation bids. But, when it comes to monthly scheduling, seniority is not a mandatory absolute right given to the pilots.
We have had over a dozen meltdowns at both CAL and UAL with PBS.
