Ask anyone on the ASA side of ExpressJet what they think of their PBS and the ability to maximize vacation.

Its like kicking an ant pile. Debating a topic that isn't a player for years.

Which Management cubicle do you work in?

Do you get a bonus for "boning us"?

Mayday...he specifically said he does not want PBS . And I have to agree with him 100%. PBS in of its self is not evil. Its the mgt that controls the keys that is evil. And NO I dont trust them either....

Yea, PBS could be a great thing. It all depends on how the programming is done, how complicated the agreement language would be, and if you trust the ones in control, period. Based on history and corporate greed, I wouldnt trust them for a nanosecond.

Sometimes the wheel doesnt need to be reinvented.

I'm voting for PBS on the next contract. Why should I vote any other way, I mean, the Union is going to say its a good deal and the membership will follow. And when you are in the top seniority, why would you care after 20yrs. There are going to be a lot of guys voting yes on the next contract because they are leaving. ADIOSMF

Exactly the opposite of what the union did this time.

Thanks for playing.
