Why don’t you add to the conservation about what a give back it was forcing more pilots into the vto ie PBS system.
No uninformed anger here, it was a major giveback.
Ok.
Well you didn't answer my question. You answered your own question. MY curiosity is how does more reserve ends up in the VTO/SLG system. Is the company making up reserve days and putting them into the SLG or is it a result of more reserve getting conflicted through maybe an unintended consequence of being able to conflict an entire block of reserve. I ask this because almost everyone I know bids single blocks of reserve during training months so they can drop their entire month and utilize the View/Add Window.
More secondaries vs. hard lines is for sure a negative. The company flooding open time with airport/hotel standby's is IMHO a greater impact to QOL post bid awards. My seniority has never really fallen in the VTO/SLG range so I haven't directly had to deal with it but I fly with many that are force to live with it and i haven't found more than 1 or 2 that like it.
