We haven't seen the most important sections yet--PBS, Scheduling, Pay, Pass Travel, and Parent Letter....many ta'ed sections such as vacation will be overriden by the more-recent PBS document...
I understand the ire of other regionals that we might draw if we vote it in, since our payrates are rumored to be lower than current book on ASA/Skywest/etc....however, the PBS document has been talked up quite a bit, and supposedly will be the most comprehensive document governing PBS line construction and usage in the industry--I'm eager to see that scheduling section and the parent letter...
"since our payrates



are rumored to be lower than current book"???? There's no question the payrates are lower!!!!!
