[QUOTE=irrelevant;2561819]I am aware of how PBS works. We've both used it elsewhere. Garbage in, garbage out.
Because they only build 4-day trips, and PBS works to eliminate conflicts in the line it builds, there won't be the broken-up, formerly 4-day trips from which to trade into.[/ALPA]
Which is why a necessary component of PBS will be ALPA involvement in building trips, and a equitable way of picking who's solution to use.
BTW, those "formerly 4-day trips" are a large reason why reservists get used and abused, because post SAP all that's left are little crappy pieces.
And there is no "if" when it comes to the math of spending time in hotel rooms, vs. spending time at home.
Agreed. But you also signed up to be an airline pilot.
