Thanks for the answer. I have not used PBS personally and while I’m familiar with the term unstacking and what it means I’m certainly interested in as much pbs information as I can get from those that have used it before.

The guy that posted the question is using a screen name very similar to mine because he thinks he’s funny I guess.

Are you and your two screen names done mocking me for no reason whatsoever? The contract is ratified. It’s over. You’re right I’m not an expert in scope law but I do know how to read. And further, the topics I was speaking about on scope were proven that I was interpreting the language 100% correctly. So what’s your problem?

Haha. Only you would write 3 sentences demonstrating humility, only to punctuate it with abosolute arrogance at the end.

No, no you were not interpreting the language 100% correctly and were corrected many times on these forums.

And what do you mean, 2 screen names? Never thought that maybe that’s someone else? Would it blow your mind to know it’s someone else?

But, If the junior guys all flew most of their flying in late June then they can't fly in early July. Couple that with being a senior guy with vacation late in July and now maybe the only way that everybody can get a line that the system wants to give a line to is by that senior guy working a 4th of July trip!!!

You have vacation in the second half of the month, a guy junior to you does not. The only line that can be built when it gets to your seniority is one that would have you working during your vacation....Welcome to reserve!!!! Even though that guy junior to you gets a line.

System Constraints are everything when it comes to what you want to pay attention to as the Union talks with the company on PBS. You think that seniority is everything?? In PBS, not so much! Being able to build the "right" number of lines is everything. And the company is going to want that be the criteria with the ultimate power. If it is, then seniority can go out the window in a hurry.

Remember that PBS is a very powerful tool. If it has no limits that protect seniority, then the middle half of the seniority list can have some interesting things happen to them on a month to month basis.
