Just to explain BOB a little more to those who were not here during that summer. Most pilot just worked to the rules, IE: no short cuts, fly the route, no visual approaches, full IFR approaches, on speed, gear down, very stable approaches. (Just like in the simulator) No single engine taxi, everything done in a none hurried manner. ATC would get pi**ed, but it didn't take long for them to understand what was going on. Sure, many guys missed a commuter flight home, but most understood the message that was being sent. It was a grass routes movement never endorsed my the MEC. A few may have took it over the top, but prostan would reel those guys back in. Everyone was pi**ed and not doing any favors for crew scheduling, they had schedules they could not cover and nobody would answer the phone. Even tho we are all a bunch of greedy pilots, if you push us to far, we will push back. I know guys who would avoid bid other pilots, not with the program.

This is all from memory, so others may remember it a little different.... Also, I don't endorse or reject BOB. It is what it is.
