They also hate vacation low. Maybe ASA just hates vacation.

Like it or not, it's OUR (the new XJT) management now, not ASA. And yes, every airline management hates vacation, it's paying people while not working. This should come as no surprise.

Cheers

They had trip touch under their line bid, their PBS has a feature called "vacation low"

Um, yeah dude. That's what I was saying in my post. Gtech pointed out they hate vacation low, I pointed out they hate trip touching. Management has pointed out they hate BOTH. How'd you miss that? Here, let me help you out. Gtech said this;

Hmm... nice sarcasm/attitude. If it's such a "revelation " then why do you keep talking about it. No one cares or asked about your trip touching, it's assumed already. My point to you was simple, anything vacation related is hated, period. Now I'm going to finish this with a role eyes

Fair enough man, it's cool, no worries.

No one cares about your vacation low, "it's assumed already".

Feel better? My point to you was that you suck are reading as well.

Agreed

Maybe it's because you suck at writing. Here let me fix the sentence for you. "My point to you was that you suck AT reading as well."

Anyways, cheers

Agreed. I'm honestly getting a little sick of this whole thread turning into a your PBS vs our Line bidding debate. That's been discussed ad nauseam on the pipe and I'm at the point where I just don't care to hear any more about it. I mean, feel free to continue debating but you are certainly not changing each other's minds.

I'd much rather look forward to what we can do together. I went to the ERJ side about 8 months ago hoping that within 2 years I could be based in Atlanta where I live. Now, what looked like a sure thing to have a TA by the end of the year has turned into a "all parties are stepping back to re-evaluate" kind of situation. I'm just worried I'm going to be stuck commuting forever.

Anyway, continue if you must, but maybe there are more constructive things we can discuss.
