all of those might be easy for someone in the top whatever percent it cuts off at.



But for someone at 80-90% in category it is very difficult to line all of that up.

Add in a commute (my choice yes I know) to reserve- it’s just not high on list of ways to earn money.

I am not saying the company is right in taking it away or any pilots are at fault for working the system. I am just saying it didn’t really ever come close to benefiting me, so that’s why I don’t think they will come back nor do I think they should try to get it back in a future PWA at the expense of some other benefit. I guess put the blame on the union for having a hierarchy of where banked PB days go in the current PWA that company has “interpreted” they can skip steps on. I really hope the next PWA is done in complete absolutes with less options and “company may” wording.
