It’s not that the Gummers are afraid of losing DTS, it’s their fear of what the company would and will do once PBS is here.
Sabre FLICA? Better quality of life? More opportunity to make money?
As long as the pilot haters JE, JD, and RW are in control I wouldn’t count on it. They would NEVER agree to the union having much if any say in filters used when implementing PBS. There’s decades of past history with these people not budging. What makes anyone think that “ this time will be different” is beyond me.
A Leopard can’t change its spots.

Whether it is PBS or line bidding, just like any other seniority based system, those senior in a status will still be able to get the schedule they want and those who are junior will get $h!+. As long as there is no minimum daily or trip credit, there will continue to be 11 hour four day trips and GRK lost days (probably on the same sequence).

You’d lose the ability to have conflicts for training, and vacation. It would take into account your transition schedule and avoid the carryover issues. PBS would also optimize the number of reserve pilots necessary. And could reduce overall headcount. Without a good flight file and strong rules to go with it, PBS is bad for the pilots. It’s not a cure all.

In addition, there would be less OT because of the less conflict, DTS, etc.

A former Aeromexico E170 just landed in ABI.

Looks like it’s been bank owned for the last year and parked at GYR all that time. Made a stop in TUS with the AeroMexico tail number, probably to clear customs, before going to GYR. But GYR doesn’t have a lot of space for long term storage, so kind of an interesting home for the past year. Hopefully one of those rumored to come to ENY with more to follow. Last I heard the others weren’t to be online until September.

Word on the street is that we will eventually receive 10 of those frames. That’s in addition of the 20 European frames that were negotiated during the scamdemic.
Didn’t realize the Mexico deal was on that fast of a track.

What other European airframes are there? CityFlier only had six.
