Yea I didn't tell the whole story because I dont have to with you fools. I was able to use PBS on two separate months of bidding to get 28 days off (in a row) with only one week of vacation. because I took time to figure out the system to make it work for me. Can line bidding do that? Like someone said, garbage in garbage out. If you hide your head in the sand because youre scared of something new the company wants, then youre going to lose something else in your negotiating to keep line bidding.

The FA's also dont understand that we only use PBS for bidding our monthly schedule. Its only valid the day it comes out, and then we use trading systems to massage and manipulate our schedule the way we want. Probably just like they do to swap all their stuff around. We only touch PBS once a month. I use CC to do my swapping.

Plus, at some point it doesnt matter if you wrote the software to PBS and know it inside and out. Your personal seniority gets you what everyone senior to you doesn't want.

FA's, get some unity. If you're jealous of what we have, get a stronger negotiating committee. Remember, we gave a big middle finger to the TUMI TA
