Are any of you complaining actually on reserve? I promise you this situation you’re whining about affects you much less than you think. The overall amount of dropping and trading is far less with pbs since senior folks are getting the trips they want with the initial award.
I commute to reserve and would like to pick up something now and then. I have never found a trip that fits since we started pbs. With only 12 days off, and protected windows of time around RAPs, a person needs VERY specific trips on only a handful of days that will be legal and allowed by scheduling to pick up. If you live in base you might have a shot but with the amount of flying we’ve had for the last year, you’re looking for a unicorn.
What you’re experiencing is the QOL loss associated with PBS if you aren’t super senior and know how to bid.
