In Fact I dropped a trip to go to my AS interview....someone pick up the whole trip no problem. The trick is you have to have someone pick it up or your still on the hook for it....least you call in sick. I honestly have no idea how AS's system works...I don't really care until i'm on the line....as I've got other things to worry about right now. I was just getting used to PBS when I left...and it makes life easier I would say....but I have nothing to compare it to. It just seemed flexible to what you wanted to do. Work more work less...drop/add.
BTW....I have no idea what MOU means..... I need a guide on all these new terms I've never had to deal with. The whole negotiations thing is completely over my head at this point.
Not to be so sarcastic but you know how to Google $hit, right? C'mon dude, don't make us ex-mil types look bad.
MOU=Memorandum of Understanding.
As for PBS, I don't want to revive an old thread. Fly the the line and experience first hand our wonderful company, crew scheduling, and bidding first hand, and then come to your own conclusions. This management group is not nearly as nice as that of SkyWest and our work rules are an embarrassment to our profession. Welcome to the jungle.
