I DTS most of my vacations so losing the extra week or two of free time, give or take, is a game changer for a lot of folks.
The bottom line here is that PBS only benefits the company. What do the we get out of it as a benefit? I have neither seen nor heard of any major positive aspect that improves QOL from PBS. Supposedly there will be less people on reserve. Supposedly. I highly doubt that will change seeing that this company's reserve system revolves around 1/3 of the pilot group being on reserve. And the only way for that to change is for an overhaul to the reserve system as a whole.
The simple fact is PBS is beneficial for the company's bottom line and nothing more than that.
My point exactly. That’s why I said ask “any senior FA” because at the time they were NOT senior. Now they will say it’s alright because they have the seniority. I remember when it first came out only the top 15% got what they bid for. Everyone else got nothing close to their PBS preferences. I understand it’s a change, but from what I witnessed years ago is this isn’t something the pilots should seek nor want.
