I would take that over bidding a schedule that changes monthly. I prefer something very set.
my question is......do I have to take a PBS or can I just volunteer to take a 7/7 or 8/6?

At this point in time, there is not one redeeming thing about Flexjet for a new hire. All but six bases have forced 8 on 4 off rotations as a distinct possibility, upgrade times in excess of 10 years, and the absolute most abysmal employee relations in the entire piloting profession. Maybe in 5 years, if management get their act together, but certainly not today.

Why havent you moved on to greener pastures?
Seriously? Is this pilot complaining or are there really issues here and if so, why not move on?
