Just looking to see who decides to stick it out to 65 as AA morphs into a mega LCC with a regional flying schedule. The stated goal with PBS is 85 hr lines with as few days off as possible. They cry efficiency but they really want you on the clock for reassignments at their discretion. Fewer reserves is the intended company benefit of PBS but the line holders WILL take up the slack in schedule anomalies.
The SLI will put many senior line holders back in abuse territory. It won't be pretty but the time for making plans will soon be on us.

Buddies with PBS like it. Work rules (E,F,G, etc) limit the number of days at work.

I had PBS at my last airline (regional) and I liked it better than what we have at AA now. Much better actually. I could build my entire month around family stuff, etc. No need to hope for a trade to come through. Of course, it all depends on how it is implemented, but I think senior guys will love it when they get past the "change." It's being junior where PBS is a kick in the balls.

"It's being junior where PBS is a kick in the balls."
Have you used PBS as a junior guy? The junior guys I've spoken with said that PBS, in general, gives them the days off they want. Another guy said he's a minimum commute guy first and PBS provides that. And PBS generates more lines which allows guys the option of being a junior line holder vs being on reserve.
They've grumbled about PBS but have said they'd prefer to never go back to paper bidding.
