in general I do not like the LOA package, and mostly for the PBS concession
that said, it has good points, but more importantly isn’t going to be enough to fix the staffing shortage, so management will be back soon offering more improvements.
once the Horizon deal breaks they won’t have a choice.
so, my advice to the MEC is tell them you’ll send the TA to a vote without PBS in it right now.
PBS can be okay, but not under Ric and Jane it can’t.
Without DETAILS, just saying PBS is good or bad is misleading.
Part of the problem at ENY is the crappy flight file. The rigs MAY improve how they build the sequences, but with fewer puzzle pieces (less overall flying) to fit into each sequence there is still limited options on what they can do. The rigs will at least make them a little more palatable, but seriously doubt they can eliminate (or even reduce very much) the lost days and low hour sequences they have.
