Thats really my only objection to PBS. Our vacation overlap, month to month overlap, (and if we ever are able to bid for training, let’s not forget training overlap) drops are a massive benefit both individually and to the pilot group. Financially and, more importantly, time off.
I firmly believe when they finally get around to modernizing our scheduling software they’re going to throw the PBS card again.
nope. Vacation and training are pre-posted before the PBS bidding opens.
