I think everybody wants weekends off if they can do it with good credit trips, but I’d say most people like myself aren’t going to pass up a 25 hour 4 day even if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday. We only have a handful of trips with that kind of credit in each base so you gotta take what you can get. I’m top 25% in CVG so im relatively senior. I can usually get a 24 or 25 hour 4 day on my initial award, but rarely do I ever see that in SAP. I would guess once PBS gets implemented I can kiss anything over 22 hours combined since everyone senior to me will have all those trips already. Which, in turn means I’ll have to work an extra day or 2 to reach the 65 hour minimum in SAP.

Currently, with line bidding and SAP there’s not much difference between the worst R1 and the best R1. With PBS, senior guys will have better schedules, middle seniority will have decent schedules like now, and the junior guys will be stuck with all the 15 and 16 hour 4 days that the senior people didn’t want. They will probably only get 15-16 days off to reach 65 hours. Even if SAP is still around nobody is going to be putting anything good into the pot since PBS gave the high credit stuff to people who wanted it.

I’m ok with all of this, as long as we get something in return which I think we will. Better soft pay and higher flow hopefully.
