I have also worked with PBS at a company with far superior rules and compliance than Spirit management will ever have under "Bob".
For the top 15% life is good.
20-60% gets some of their requests some of the time,
Below 70% might as well not bid, you get the leftovers and maybe ONE of your top requests.
You have a better chance of getting your choices on a relief than you do below 70% at PBS.
A union controlled PBS, with ALL the current work rules, would still be a huge concession with no turning back.
I think this is an issue of long term vs short term career goals at Spirit.
For those who plan to be here more than 5 years, PBS will motivate them to leave even sooner!
Well I guess we've had vastly different experiences with it. I'm not here to strongly support PBS for anybody. I just think there's a lot of people fear-mongering something they've had little experience with, for the most part I think it's unwarranted. Most of the legacies have PBS and after working the kinks out over a contract or two schedule control greatly improved. I've never ever heard anybody say I wish we could go back to lines of time.
I shared my opinion because because I think too much negotiating power will be wasted on it. I think you guys should use it as a great tool against the company. Act like it's something that you'll die to give up but you will if you get industry-standard wages.
