PBS at ASA
One of the recent ASA connection newsletters I saw said that the MEC and the company were looking at implementing PBS. If PBS is passed will that result in further furloughs? I've heard that a PBS system can reduce the need for up to 10% of a pilot work force. I know that ASA has the "no furlough" clause but I honestly believe that it isn't worth the piece of paper it is written on. If PBS were passed could we see 10% of the remaining workforce furloughed at ASA?

I would agree, considering they are furloughing.

PBS would still have to be voted on and the general consensus is a big NO right now.
