Don’t mishear me and think I’m advocating for PB days to go away. I’m just saying it won’t end senior pilots bidding reserve if they do go away.
I remember these days. I thought I was going back to them by bidding WB. Not the case. I hope these days come back. But, until they do, the company needs to choke on 400 hour credit months and PB day bonanzas due to their staffing decisions.
