Mesa Pulls PBS
Just heard that PBS has been pulled by the company. Apparently they served 45 days notice today of their intent to pull PBS.
Now the pilots lose PBS (which is FINE by me! Heck yeah!) but we also lose:
1. Scheduled or Actual
2. Line Guarantee
3. 100% Cancellation Pay
I thought the company might pull this stunt, but I had just decided they would want to keep it.
The only problem now, is how are we going back to the paper bids? I believe we do not have the old software that created the lines before PBS. I'm pretty sure what's going to happen is the company is going to use PBS to create lines, and then the pilots bid for said lines. So everyone will pretty much have unstacked schedules. I am not sure - I guess we'll have to wait to hear from the union to find out.

You know, I absolutely have NO idea. I've just given up completely when it comes to trying to figure out the company. They make absolutely no sense.

Blame shifting 101:
Scenario 1: The pilot group pulls PBS and the company blames the pilots for the impending bankruptcy.
Scenario 2: The company has to show the shareholders they are doing everything they can to save money. Company pulls PBS.

No more furniture left to burn, so time to tear down the curtains and rip out the baseboards. If you could audit Johnny's bank accounts and note when they stop rising and begin to level off, then you'd know liquidation is at hand.

I did not see this coming. There is no way this will save them $ in the long run.

the only place i think its gona hurt is CVG since we are still Fat on people.
we Keep SAP, 11days off for reserves, calendar month bids, anything else good?
