In the event PBS is voted down by the pilot group, the company gets 8-9 million dollars in concessions elsewhere. So in essence, should the company decide to dust off this part of the concessionary contract, the pilot group can accept PBS or take significant concessions. But in this environment of looking everywhere and anywhere to find pilots and throwing more and more money to try to fix the staffing woes, the company knows they cannot come after the pilot group for concessions. That's why PBS hasn't been brought up by the company. But they absolutely can pull that trigger at any time.
