The company cant afford to stall out PBS implementation, and so far, they have not stalled it a bit. They NEED PBS staffing to be set before going into spring break and summer time flying. Its not like they can say "If we can get it by March, we will, if not, no big deal". Their staffing plan is dependent on PBS being effective by the increase of block hours.

When has the company EVER been cooperative in anything dealing with pilot negotiations? But look at this, they seem to be going right along with us on the PBS details. Fine by me, bring on the 3.5 rig and slight increase to the duty period...and say your final goodbyes to the reserve drops.
