But you are right, the lines have been pretty bad and it being summer and all this is when they should be better...

Like I said, I have no experience with PBS, but the only reason junior guys at NK have weekends off is BECAUSE of the 6-5 on, 4 off way of scheduling, this 10-11 day cycle against a 7 day week guarantees you will get some weekend off. At SWA all schedules have a start day (meaning all trips on your schedule that month start that day, with either all AM flying or all PM flying): Senior guy starts a 3-day every Tuesday morning, home and done every Thursday afternoon, junior guy starts a Thursday PM 4-day start and gets home every Sunday night....
