Thanks

Dude...if you think that the schedules were better at your old airline because of PBS, you're sorely mistaken. PBS won't magically give us better schedules. PBS would still use the same garbage pairings to generate the schedules. Garbage in, garbage out. PBS or no PBS. You won't magically get good schedules, but you will lose the ability to DTS vacation, get transition conflicts, and there will be substantially less OT for the guys that pick up OT. Please, talk to a scheduling rep and have them explain things to you before spewing more ignorant statements. PBS would be a HUGE concession.

It's not about advantages of PBS but rather about advantages of the line bidding system that we have now. For example, nearly 140 hours pay credit in April AND one week off thanks to being able to drop trips around vacation would not have been possible with PBS.

Not one bit. I will happily prove it. I've snagged 10 hours of OT to try and improve the paycheck a bit. New hires need to know that they take a paycut the minute they complete IOE and if they're aren't prepared for it then life can be tough.

I'll wager Jan 2016 with DCE being the junior seat.

PBS would make the already horrible schedules even more horrible.

You're forgetting that the PBS LOA in its entirety will be re-negotiated. I'm not saying it'll be rainbows, unicorns, and slurpee machines, but what I am saying is....there's a chance.

PBS has worked really well at TSA. I voted it down actually originally. But everyone gets like 15/16 days off even if you're somewhat junior. The only issue is that there's less opentime and somewhat less control of your schedule like transitions but overall the schedules are better than before with more days off.
