I get your view. Totally. I personally would NEVER agree to using a PBS process that works the way this pref bid thing works. It’s garbage at best. I was so confused when using it for the first time. You can be close to the most senior relief line holder and it ignores all logic within your preferences. Some crazy magic going on behind the scenes. There’s a lot of company control going on in the frame work. That’s NOT the PBS ex-CRJ guys are used to.
So yes - the apples to apples argument fails in many ways. All people that used the Flica version of PBS under that contract know that the company absolutely hated it. It favored the pilot group in so many ways.
PBS is coming. Regardless of what people may think. The ex- CRJ guys that have seen the good, the bad and the ugly are a good gauge of what should be acceptable and what is not when it comes to bidding. They fought for the system that was used for years. And it was far superior to any PBS software that has been introduced to the original ERJ group in the past.
We need some unity. Some trust in each other. The fact that years later we are still at each other’s throats over PBS gives management that much more leverage over us.
You just proved my point. That version is not coming and it'll be one closer to Smart Pref which we both agree is crap.
PBS is NOT coming unless the company can provide other substantial gains in which they are very unlikely to do so. The same people (including yourself) have said this same statement for years.
LOL that you think only CRJ guys are the voices of reason and everyone else knows nothing. Again, the statement I said earlier about a select few people who give a bad name to the rest. At least one of the main toxic forum warriors on the ASA side has since come back down to reality and is working well with the union. Maybe he can talk some sense into you guys.
This has nothing to do with unity or trust. It's the ASA pilots who have come to this side after all their planes are gone still demanding we change to their bidding system among a litany of other things. Guess what, we outnumber you 2 to 1. We don't have to do any such thing.
I hear Endeavor has an Atlanta base, they fly CRJ's and they use Flica. A match made in heaven no?
