I'm sorry but this is what everyone is thinking but aren't saying. We are tired of the lifers and the new guys getting all the goods and leaving the rest of the pilots to suffer. Lifers kept their 4 and 5 weeks of vacation and you only get two maybe three one day. Lifers kept their top pay but will we ever see it if the hiring stops? New guys getting 20/45k in signing bonuses. We get forced upgrades and displacements. So your argument that it's going to help the senior and junior guys is lost on deaf ears.
PBS means less days off for me. PBS means less pay for me. PBS means I have to work more to make the same amount of money. So no thanks on PBS.
