This is a blast mail from the MEC. Have you not been receiving the PBS updates? If not, I would check to make sure your email is updated and you opted in, to receive union emails.

What Ducttape said. You should have gotten an email titled ‘Bidline Bulletin- January 1’. If not, I would email the union to find out why you aren’t getting blast emails.

Good point from both of you, I will look into it.

Email came in late last night. Program works great on my MacBook.

There was also a text message. Make sure your profile on the ALPA site is up to date.

Check your junk email if your email on the ALPA is up to date. It seems like I have to tell my email provider “this is not junk” about alpa emails every couple of months.

None the less, go to https://navblue-pbs.spirit.com/webapp/#/

Hello. F9 guy here. Are you guys bidding PBS yet, or have you run any mock PBS bids? I’m curious as to what your initial thoughts on it are, as we will be bidding PBS by early next year as well. If not I’ll check back with this thread later. Thanks.

Mock bids. No telling how accurate those are. Live bid for May bid period.

Thanks. I’ll check back in May/June then. I know many variables effect ones opinion on PBS, but I’d like try to gauge an overall averaged opinion on whether your pilot group winds up feeling that it was an improvement, downgrade, or about the same as line bidding.

You may have to wait about a year. We have a condition of the ability to waive the mandatory 4 days off between work blocks. That is available for six months and can be rescinded after if we (ALPA) chooses. There is a bit of contention about how useful it is in PBS and how results are affected for those that choose to and not to waive the 4 days off. Also what it’s worth is to spirit and if a permanent option to waive should be used to negotiate improvements elsewhere after the 6 mo trial. The answers to these questions won’t be able to be answered until after the new year
