For me, I give no consideration to PBP as it and all of its machinations fall well outside the scope of my job. Just my view of a program that exists outside of our contract. Would trade it for pay-rates, rig and effective scope today. Prob a good focus program for the rest of the company but not really appropriate for pilots, mechanics and dispatchers.
