Or they didnt want any part of a Ricci run company. Those leaving for “union drama” sure ran like hell for union operations.
As for PBS, you’ll need to be super senior to enjoy it. I found that 16 days a flex month (28 days so count on 17-19 per calendar month) was the norm, usually 3 weekends a month on, and every holiday worked.
7/7 or 8/7 works around that to a degree, and you maybe able to get Super Dave to adjust your PBS schedule for you, but guys aren’t enjoying making their own scheds as Red Label Pilots because they enjoyed PBS.
Crew rot was a thing, but you’ll get enough min rest assignments that it’s not really feasible or necessary.
Plan to work hard. Plan to work often. Plan to be on the road on holidays. If possibly landing a CL seat and staying in some cool places makes that a good trade for you then have at it.
