This^^^ your pilots will figure out how to use PBS to their advantage and will also figure out that having 4 days off between trips is a disadvantage.

When I held a line I used to bid back to back 4 day trips twice a month. I knocked my commute down from 4 to 2 a month. This gave me 2 - extra days at home a month. It also opened up more trips that had late finishes and early starts:

Start a 4 day at 5pm commute in that day trip ends at 7pm get a hotel next morning start a trip at 9am that ends at noon commute home.
Normally I would have filtered out both of those trips because they were uncommutable.

If I want I can put all of my flying in the first half of the month and take the last half of the month off. There are several other examples of how you can greatly improve QOL, days off and productivity with PBS and I guarantee most, if not all, of your pilots will waive the 4 days off between trips, and any "value" that provision has/had will evaporate overnight.

Agree 100%. ‘Four days off’ should have been traded for more minimum days off per month once we went down the PBS road. Remember, per the ALPA email, the MEC may rescind our ability to waive the ‘four days off’ after a six month trial period...(They had better not).

PBS alone saves a min of 20%.
ADD to that:
No transition.
VAC/GS/SIM drops?
150%/200% DOT pick up, is a concession which reduces RES coverage and CS staffing.
Still no info on Res drops.
Schedule integrity is a must!
No full retro, meaning NK saved millions for the last 2.5 years.
Their stall tactics are being rewarded by us!
The 75mil to be split, is a minute fraction of the new corporate welfare tax breaks.
No profit sharing.
NO calendar day min=14hr 4 days

This is a 4 year deal (which means 6+)
Expect a considerable pay disadvantage in less than two years and concessionary negotiations next time around.
Bendo will get another bonus if this POS passes.

VOTE NO!

Blah blah blah. I'm gaining at least $5000 a month plus 40k signing bonus plus DC (not my $) plus LTD and scope now. Show me the money. Or we can wait another year while I lose $60,000 and maybe, just maybe they reshuffle the deck and get a few bucks more. Don't be overly greedy.

I read the AIP as a 5 year deal. So, it will likely be a 7 plus year contract.

It’s a five year deal.

When company puts new rigs in optimizer pairing will change.

Exactly. I also wonder with Jyri gone and PBS if the company will change its tune on overnighting in central/south america. I think they could build some productive lines if they did. For example, DTW crew does DTW-FLL-BOG spend the night, then reverse it the next day.. That would prolly be a 13-14 hour 2 DAY. if you did 2 of those back to back you'd be around 26-28 hours for 4 days of work and only 2 nights away from home. For a $230/hr guy thats a $6200/week. not shabby for 2 nights in a hotel.

I am ALL FOR Columbia overnights!!!! Oh and All-inclusive hotels in Costa Rica and Cancun

FLL crews would probably soil themselves if that happened but I'd go for a trip like that.
