What PBS will do is this.. let saay you’ve been flying 90 hour lines for 10 months, you’re at 900 hours of block, PBS will now consider the fact you can only fly 100 block hours over the next 2 month. It will now limit you to 50 hours per month. If you have monthly guarantee that’s great, you’ll get your guarantee if you don’t, well guess what? 50 hours of pay.
How about vacation?? Oh your vacation starts on Fri? Good we can legally fly you till 23:59 on Thursday.. End on Wends? Great 5AM report on Thursday.
Have you used PBS before? If so when?
Everything you said it's wrong.
1000 hrs in 12 months? with PBS it's hard to make it happen unless you like BDSM and you build your self pure hell. most line out of PBS are 75/85
Vacation: You start vacation on friday? well bid for Thursday and Wednesday off and there you have you vacation plus 2 extra days; and guess what? you can do the same at the end of vacation.
You can even decide to bid for the last 5 days of the month off and the first 5 days of the following month off... guess what? an other 10 days vacation?
I used PBS twice: with a ****ty language, with a less ****ty language but still ****ty.
both time it was a great experience. you decide the exact days you want off, you make your own vacations, you extend your PTO by adding days off. and you CAN drop trip. I was able to drop trip at my regional while being understaff.
