Default ASA PBS in danger of worse system.

The XJT MEC has determined that they aren't going to keep their current line bidding system. Instead of supporting the ASA PBS that most pilots are happy with, they are pushing thru a PBS system that doesn't honor seniority. This "globalization" PBS only takes a 40% view of honoring seniority and 60% doesn't take seniority into consideration. This will be worse than EITHER system currently being used...Contact your reps. to voice your opinion on this serious issue....

Then why is the XJT MEC pushing for it?

Because it looks much prettier than the current ASA system.

There is nothing "pretty" about globalization and not honoring seniority....

Where are you getting this Joe? I haven't seen it come up on any union e-mails yet or the crackpipe.

Members of ASA negotiating committee and MEC who aren't happy about it...

How about we voice out concern about the system when (or if) it's shared with us. Why get so worked up when nothing has been decided and everything is under negotiations?

That's about the most unfounded, rediculous rumor I've heard spread since the merger announcement.
Folks, don't let this nasty rumor scare you. XJT PILOTS, not the MEC have to vote YES for any CONCESSION...which includes PBS.
If you talk to the majority of XJT pilots, line bidding is here to stay.

Have you played with the online demo at all? You can actually go in there and submit practice bids. It looks very fancy and nice, and I'm sure to somebody who hasn't used PBS before it looks like a great product.
