I do agree with you on PNP. It was another well intentioned idea, but it’s used differently than it was envisioned. If you check out many of the more senior wolf pack schedules, they bid max carry over schedules. They will then bid a secondary line and bid min days off. After “the snap shot” is taken, they’ll proffer their trip MKU and some fool will pick it up every time. Now they have an open first week and will use their priority time to pick up great trips. They’ll do it every month.

Some aren’t concerned about some of the wolf pack because they are FOs. But, unlike OTP, PNP never expires. So, they’ll bring it with them as Captains.

I’d like to see PNP eliminated.
