SkedPlus as a monthly bidding tool is garbage. Granted I have been holding lines better then I ever have in the last two months I still it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth every 10th of the month when I have to load it up.

On the other hand eTrip and using SkedPlus for swaps and trades is great. Being at the bottom of the FO list use to make it impossible to get a trip swapped in open time. I would bid for 20 diffrent trips and 2% of the time would I actually get something. Now I know right away.

As for PBS, I must say my mouth dropped when I opened the email. I also didn't expect the Union to offer this up until the next contract negotiations. With that said though the recent email about people and jobs that will be gone at the first of the year maybe its something we should look at. I am glad to have my job in light of all the furloughs and really would like to keep it. If that means we have to go to a FAIR PBS system then so be it.

What is FAIR? I like my long vacation after my trips are dropped. What about looking into Delta's vender? I don't know but if the company wants to save money so I can keep a job... To me, no harm in looking...

PS I lets not get this thread locked out due to mud slinging, I would like to see what other people have to say... and yes, my handle is my name...
