I loved the announcement about the PBS screw up. "SAPA has noticed an elevated number of PBS failures" So as a pilot group we have just become immune to the PBS errors that happen each month, and SGU just hopes that we will just accept it. If someone pushes hard enough, their bid will be adjusted. But only for the person complaining and not for everyone junior to that person. Nothing is ever done to fix the error within the PBS system so that it doesn't happen again.
I wonder what the elevated number has to be that we actually get communication out PBS screwed up. And why is it we don't care about people getting their bids wacked out each month with PN/CN that is due to low staffing. But if someone has to spend a night where they didn't want to, then we need to fix it right away?? I don't get it.

Skywest v2.0
My entire month was CN/PN. Locals, 2 days, a couple 3 days and 4 day. I'm a commuter and want 4 days. I thought short trips went senior. And about the no standups next to a 4 day. PBS gave me 2 day, then a local, then a standup! I see fatigue calls all month. I literally want to commute to reserve again.

Now why would they go and do that? Then we'd see that seniority isn't being honored. Which we all know but some choose to not believe.

How's life on reserve in LAX on the 175? Anything like ORD?

Serious question from the uninformed: how are the schedules for you guys so awful when you are hiring 100 per month and passing ~85-90 per month? Are they all going to the 175?

A couple of things are at play...
- a lot of the hiring is compensating for attrition and also growing the seniority list. But no all of it is growth
- the CRJ side appears to get staffed just enough to keep up. Presumably to anticipate the inevitable fleet transition to the 175
- we seem to be picking up a lot of extra flying that others cannot do
As far as schedules are concerned it is all relative. I rather have too much work than too little but that is me.
But overall efficiency has lots of room for improvement. There are many airport appreciation sits that really get old. And because staffing is so lean there is almost no chance to get time off.
