Did you notice that Alaska is possibly the only airline that uses line bidding? It isn't because Alaska line bidding is better than everyone else, it's because everyone else in the industry has figured out that PBS is the better and right way to do things. You will have PBS it's just a matter of time. Probably should start thinking about how it should be implemented and enlightening people who are taking on your vacation system to whatever benefits it has so we don't consider throwing it in the trash.
Yeah but if you don't pick anything up to make up for the loss of credit you become a reserve and can be assigned anything on any day?
Doesn’t Southwest, Fed Ex and for the moment Spirit and Frontier all use line bidding? I know the last 2 are making the transition to PBS but line bidding is still used in the industry.
