Just smart bidding and knowing the system. And I am not as senior as those senior mammas who could really make the system work for them.
The vote was 71% against. Didn’t the company previously say they weren’t going to ask for PBS?
How does their contract compare to American or Southwest?
My wife and I recently flew on UAL coming back from Europe and of course she spent time in the galley chatting up the FAs as she works for WN. The UAL FAs are very ****ed!
WN schedule flexibility (without PBS) and ability to make premium pay, trade, give away etc is a big asset (along with no work minimums to keep benefits).
Anyway, interesting to see pilots advocating PBS to their FAs during contract negotiations.
