It’s a misnomer when people say we “gave up” 4 days off with “nothing in return”

The only way 4 days off affected the company was to restrict how they built hard lines. All that went out the window with PBS.

Now it’s just another option like any other set condition, and it really doesn’t affect the company one way or the other.

The only real affect is that “line holder” seniority is not at black and white as it was with line bidding. Some pilots on the edge of holding a line may improve their chances if they waive as PBS has more flexibility for assigning enough trips to meet the credit window, and others who hold on to the 4 day minimum may have to settle for a Reserve like.
