I’ve never worked under PBS, but thought it was meant to make pairings more efficient.
As a commuter was hoping PBS might make getting efficient trips easier and making credit in 13 to 15 days work. If I’m going to work 16 to 17 days a month just to make credit I’m more than just a little concerned.
We have a 4.5 duty period average now. 5 is better. 1:3.5 is also better than the 1:4.2 we have now. The 1:2 duty rig is also new and an improvement.
I agree with you though. I’ve disissed this topic with the NC and they said that they absolutely tried for calendar day. Only half have it so there is a case for it being industry standard but the mediator disagreed and the company absolutely was against it under any circumstance. Can we go back to the table and get? That’s the question.
