Factoring that into the equation "industry standard" would have to also include DL/UA/AA rates to offset the loss of line bidding for me.
Don't forget the work rules ....... they shape the trips that allow PBS to be palatable.
UALs scheduling section in our contract is the biggest section. There is a reason why. With PBS - crap in / you get crap out.
