I agree that what's within the lines might be inefficient as hell, but at least with PBS you have more flexibility to choose what kind of ****** sandwich you want to have.
I don't trust AAG management and our crew planning with PBS. They will use it to their advantage to the fullest extent. It will be yet another weapon for them to make us even more productive. They want it badly for a reason... and it's not just for cost cutting.
No to PBS unless management is willing to give the pilot group control over writing pairings, running the software, etc. We also need transparency.
It's way past time for this pilot group to ask management what they're willing to give up for PBS implementation. We should run PBS the way Delta does... and we should demand Delta work rules.
I'm fed up with B&B's BS and secret sauce.
