I think the XJT guys need to remember that it is not what we piolts decide to pick that we magically are going to get! It's not whose item we pick, like ASA's bidding or XJT's. It's what will be NEGOTIATED with management. We can "pick" the World's best ever bidding andscheduling system that ever pilot back flips over. Getting it in the JCBA is a totally different animal. Also, anything better than the cost number that they have now must be compromised somewhere else. A negotiation comes down to give and take. Dumping PBS will cost the pilot group elsewhere. Also, Skywest/ASA management will never allow the dumping a 4 day for a 1 day, and certainly won't pay someone the original value to do so. Also, thy don't run enough reserves to ever have enough coverage to do so. They will just make EVERY DAY a red arrow day!
