Not having any contractual language surrounding the selection, staffing, implementation and control over the PBS program will also have no effect on schedule quality or value…
Then I am in….We should ask Alaska Airlines to implement PBS now…
Of course the Alaska Airlines FA’s have a significantly better contract when it comes to scheduling and work rules. And they have been fighting with Alaska Airlines for 15 years over constant PBS implementation and scheduling violations. And what pilots that work for an entirely separate corporation with completely separate management and a totally different union and contract have to do with this discussion mystifies me.
If it is stand alone as good as you say with no input from ALPA and no language surrounding it then lets get it done
