Sounds like a very enterprising possibility for some of the senior pilots in each seat!

Assuming you can find traders. Let's wait and see how it all shakes out, very busy 12 months coming up.

Trading with another pilot is only one facet....I take a 7 day block and break it up...1 vac day 2 work days 1 vac day....gives you 14 days off for 7....makes you illegal to pick back up which we are required to do....makes a good solid 60 hr month with 20 days off.....I dont need to "wait and see"....Alaska Airlines negotiates in bad faith.....They always have.....PBS will be the final blow to what was once a great job....

Live under our work rules governed by this management group (aka crew scheduling/planning and up) and you'll see why we don't want PBS under this regime. "They don't play nice" is an understatement.

Your red-headed "sister company" Horizon will be implementing PBS soon. Stop by our forums then if you want to see the sht show unfold when it goes live.

I'm guessing that a properly implemented PBS is better than a bad line system and vice versa. How long does it take to sort through all the individual lines?

One leg of a transcon to sort....return leg to bid....That is for SEA....Bidding at the outposts is much faster...
Alaska Airlines negotiates in bad faith...We will never have a functional PBS system and we will never have the work rules to protect us from the dysfunctional PBS system.....If you are at Virgin forget PBS....There is no solution that will work.....trust no one in leadership here from the top down...

Jeez..I'da jumped off a bridge a long time ago. Must be tough getting up in the morning. I guess the future is not as bright as I thought.
