Plus rebuttals I hear “No OT available” is bull. Really big bull crap from the Hell No’ers who will flow soon. Does OT availability not depend on the month and season, and staffing? Are there tons of “good OT” available now with the current system in February and March? With the current system is “good OT” available every single month of the year? You all know the answer. So why do “PBS Hell No’ers” keep saying that also. It’s a mute point.

If the possibility exist for ALPA, plus a good vendor to be in control, then it’s worth a shot in my eyes me! Greater good for the majority. Senior lifers and junior guys benefit the most. We won’t know until it’s negotiated if the door is open, but to say HELL NO, off the bat is bat**** retarded.

We want reserve fixed, yes granted PBS does not fix it completely, but the number/amount of our fellow pilots who are effected by crap reserve rules, inefficiencies, lost days, early commute in the day before, to sit Stby/RAP1 etc, could be dramatically reduced. We keep doing the same thing yet expect some different result? insanity.
