Do you really think PBS will give everyone 18 days off a month? No, you know you're ultra senior and it positively affects you more than others. Not to mention the younger pilots and new hires are already paying increased health insurance costs for the very senior lifers here. PBS would not allow them line improvement and QOL gains.
Boomers...
Skip.
This is so full of you know what. I can honestly say, I was a junior captain at ASA when PBS came along, and the entire group was skeptical of the whole deal, and yes I GOT A BETTER SCHEDULE WITH PBS THAN WITH LINE BIDDING! You don’t know what your talking about.
I like the snippet about insurance.... idiotic comment of the week right there. I’m not sure if he was pointing it out or truly a bit annoyed, but pure ignorance once again. Maybe it has more to do with the ATL corporate people being moved from the ASA United Healthcare plan to the XJT Blue Cross plan, and less to do with the age of the pilot group. Just a thought.
