Joint ASA/XJT MEC meeting

There is a joint ASA/XJT MEC meeting this week and SOME of the ASA MEC members are considering giving into XJT's Smart Pref PBS scheme. If you don't want an untried, globalized PBS system, you need to call your reps.

Why are they caving in after all the chest thumping? Or are they saying they will take SmartPref but no dual qual? I am sure a lot of people do not want to go the dual qual route.

Both systems have their pros and cons. Flip a coin and choose one. The sooner we move forward the better

I thought they had already agreed on a tentative protocol agreement? Something to the effect that the end game is a pilot vote.

I say we agree to "Smart"Pref (but use Flightline until its ready) and call their bluff. When the company finds out its going to take years and millions of dollars to get "Smart"Pref ready for prime time, they will pull the plug.

As long as the min credit window is allowed to be 65-70 credit during your vacation month Flightline will still do a decent job extending vacation without vacation low
