Out in CVG, the trips are very very commutable, but are so ineffective. To meet the average number of hours that the lines are built at for the month, the most senior captain only has 12 days off for the month. Now thats could also be put on the PBS bidding system republic uses.
I certainly agree that your schedule will vary quite a bit depending on the codeshare partner, but I disagree with your statement that PBS is to blame for bad schedules. CVG has the lowest ADC (average daily credit) in the CHQ system at 4:27 vs. STL with the highest at 5:38. You can do the math. It doesn't matter if planning puts the pairings into a line or PBS, its still going to net less days off in CVG than STL.
