Just wanted to confirm since the new contract, nothing has changed in this area. I know PBS is coming, but that could be some time yet.

Have an interview coming up. Just wanting to make sure I have a handle on what I could be in for.

Thanks so much.
Just another personal view, from a LAS NK pilot. I fly a lot of red-eye (Feb 50 % are redeye, the rest a mix of early/late.) I prefer a 4-day with just 4 nights over a 4-day with 24-hour rests after a red-eye, trying to sleep from 7 to 11 am, then going to bed before 10 pm for a 6 am wake up is worse to me.
