73,

It took me awhile to understand why the nAAtive pilot's mentality is so anti-PBS, but what you describe I believe to be true. This is tough as (being a former TWA guy) I know PBS to have worked very well in the past. Averaging less than 10 minutes a month to bid was great.

Then again, we had great work rules and a management that wanted to see PBS work without alienating the pilots. Different time, different place.

So I have to ask:

When push comes to shove, if the choice between dropping the A-Plan or invoking PBS is presented...what will it be?
