The guy that posted the question is using a screen name very similar to mine because he thinks he’s funny I guess.
No need to guess, I'm funny AF!

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?

The scope issues I had about capacity purchase agreements being unlimited on both the amount and size of aircraft and codesharing- all true. I was constantly told to go to a road show like every base had a roadshow on day one. Those questions were asked and verified to by the Alpa scope lawyer.

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.

One of many PBS shenanigans. Can’t wait to hear all he *****in about PBS.

PBS can be your best friend or the evil cvnt that kills your dog before she sets you up for your new wifes murder.

Don’t worry, seniority fixes almost everything.

But really, congratulations.
PBS is industry standard.
