Not disagreeing. All I’m saying is we pay for the dropped trips. Pbs and the distance learning LOA were both staffing concessions no doubt about it. Many thought the iPad they were getting anyway was worth a 1% manning reduction and 70% thought that the new CBA was worth another 4+% manning reduction. It is what it is now.

The 1% was a personal calculation based on a random set of pilots and average training conflicts at the time of the LOA.

The 4% for pbs is based on a previous airline that had similar line bidding rules and we were told pbs was roughly a 4% staffing savings. Here it’s probably more because the previous airline didn’t have the same tradition language.

Shoot even without pbs we made a serious staffing concession. They are litterally able to cover everything now whereas before it was constant meltdown. Granted they could’ve staffed more before but they chose not to. The pbs kicker should’ve at least got us what Jetblue got and a 3 year contract. But hey, here we are and we have to lay in it- all of us. So no reason to be bitter for the next 5-10 years.
