I work in a wb category and I am positive that senior pilots in my category (most well in their 60s and don’t cherish the holiday day as much) would jump on the opportunity to bid for an override trip in pbs.

BTW every holiday I notice that when the gs starts to flow, like always they go uber senior, that’s great, they’ve earned it. Seniority wins the day in pbs as well so nobody is abrogating your station except to allow those who want to bid for those trips.

We are not JB, does that mean we are not allowed to improve our contract based on best practices and QOL for pilots because someone else thought of it or implemented it first?
The fact that JB has it and our FAs have it etc shows that it is obviously beneficial to both the pilots and the company.
