I’m not in favor of PBS here, and I fully understand your novel AD. I’d really say we’re 0-3 (transparency, control, negotiators) if you don’t have that the education is kind of a moot point. Doesn’t really matter 0 for anything ain’t good when you’ve got to be batting 1.000 to get it to work.
On a bit of a side note: What I can say about scheduling is I’m amazed at how archaic our scheduling interface is with VIPS. I’m also surprised there is no trade board for pilots easily to trade amongst ourselves. You know I’ll give up my XYZ for a JFK type posting. Oh well, new job, new things to learn.
