RE the Rotation Construction Survey; all they really need to do is look at what the most senior pilots in each category are asking for, and then look at the bottom line holders, see what (crap) they are being assigned.
That will quickly show them -exactly- what most pilots want, and DON'T want!
I really believe this whole exercise is more about pretending "We Care" vs. actually doing anything about it, rotation construction wise. The company is going to build what ever costs them the least credit time.

Malaysia lost another 777 today. Crashed in the Ukraine. We fly the exact same route at the moment to Bombay. Flying over war zones always seems a bit questionable.

The problem is not because of the rotation changes but the fact those changes have all been removed until fall.

Also, trip mix has nothing to do with available days off in PBS. That is purely a function of what days off have been awarded to more senior pilots.

Just to be sure, you might call the PBS Help Desk or one of the PBS bidding services to QC your bid for techniques that might help.
