unstacking is an interesting topic bc of how great our scheduling currently is. There probably should be some sort of criteria if a base is x amount of pilots then it’s 30/50 and if its x amount then its 50/70, but obviously have no knowledge of what would make sense without looking at numbers. The problem we could run into is if we do 50/70 and then the company grows exponentially (and opens more bases), ultimately screwing over many pilots. Might have to consider a criteria for that as well.
Me personally, I’d prefer to just keep what we have but the company would never go for it due to how inefficient it is
I think most pilots would be ok with keeping what is, and just getting the big 4 major items (pay, direct contribution, loss of license and medical, scope). But company does not want CBI bc of its inefficiency. So PBS is what they want, with 50/70% unstacking. Could this be done? I'm sure it can, but there have to be guardrails negotiated and put in place. That's the hurdle to get over. The union saying "We are offering keep CBI/Status-quo" obviously is a no go for the company. We'll see how things progress.
