Right now we use line bidding. X number of lines (schedules) that are made by the company & union. You look at all the lines and put them in order of preference. You are awarded a line that is left on your list after those senior to you are awarded their lines.

Got it, thanks. Is there a benefit/negative for pilots for each type of scheduling?

Line bidding with improvement windows is better than PBS. Going to PBS is a net negative for any lineholder at XJT. I would strongly advise the union to not budge on our bidding system. Maybe quality of trips, but the current system is good.

Personally, I'd like a PBS system that has some sort of line improvement window. I don't have the skills or knowledge to figure out how that would work, considering PBS is supposed to reduce the amount of open trips left over, but I think that's something most of the pilot group would get behind.

+1 to this. The only people that want PBS are those that do not know how to work the initial line improvement window. I haven't had a month with less than 20 days off in quite some time. That's without PBS and using our current system.

From: Q,
Having used the current line bidding system for over 1.5yrs now, and the previous PBS bidding system, I have to disagree. While all PBS systems aren't created equal, it has the potential to be a quality of life improvement for the pilot group with the right work rules.
