The company knows we "perceive" it as value, but it has none in the PBS world. Everyone will waive it, you'll see. To get the schedule you want, and trips you want, you'll do 3 days off this week to have 5+ next week.
We need to read the language and see the minimum windows each month, that will determine how well we can control our days off.
Agree 100%. ‘Four days off’ should have been traded for more minimum days off per month once we went down the PBS road. Remember, per the ALPA email, the MEC may rescind our ability to waive the ‘four days off’ after a six month trial period...(They had better not).
