The company can change the buffers all they want, just as long as 75% are green. This is the single greatest work rule we have. I know in my base, most of the days stay green throughout the month. This alone provides you with scheduling flexibility that is unheard of. The union was adamant that Red/Green wouldn't change, do you really thing they're going to goof up that language, they just have to copy/paste.
The AIP, under the PBS highlights, also discusses that open time is guaranteed to remain at current levels.
Although I have read the AIP, you did not read my post...
Green Red will be affected by PBS indirectly.
PBS will drop reserve requirements and the green days will be at +1.
If you have ever worked with PBS you would know that less restrictions increase your chance of being awarded your top choices.
That's why 4 days are not as important in a PBS environment.
Many bidders will elect to drop the 4 day requirement.
My base is mostly red after IOT, due to the reserve manipulation, which needs to stop in this new CBA.
Oh yea and let's drop the reserve pilots under the bus.
We are senior to avoid RES right, so who cares.
Just quoting a recent FO's view...
Did you also vote for the LMS LOA?
