The 150% WS seems like a huge deal. Hopefully the NC shot that down.

Take a minute to ask yourself Why? Why would they want to get rid of PBs? Is it because it severely penalizes them from running the operation "a little hot"? Right now they have a big thorn in their side to "optimizing" the Air Line permanently.

Because of "mistakes were made" and "poor planning" I think we'd be critically understaffed coming out of Covid no matter what. The important part is how do they view this longterm?

Will they run the Air Line "a little hot" forever? Maybe. Maybe they are OK paying 130 hours for 10 days of RSV flying. The fact that they went after PBs (something that's been in the PWA for decades) tells me they are a) not OK with that and b) want to be thinly staffed but not pay the substantial PB "tax" to do so.

Btw I have been a line-holder most of my time here and have only ever gotten two PBs. Rolling thunder would be awesome but I can't have a whole month of not knowing my days off in advance so it's not for me. I still recognize the worth of it though.
