There is a big difference in less pleasurable work rules and less compensation.

There are so many things that are different that it really is like being at a different airline. One big thing is a single duty period changed from being worth 4 hours credit to 5 hours credit with PBS... but only for line holders. Reseerve stayed at 4. There are many ways to deal with this and most of our peers have addresed this with a higher guarantee or being paid average line value on reserve.

18 duty periods as a line holder pays 90 hours vs. 72 as a reserve, unless you bid an R period that spans two calendar days... and then it all depends on what trips you are assigned and/or if you break guarantee.

So take out all the quality of life things like being able to change your schedule, swap into a different base, etc. and you don't even get compensated the same for your time.

Another Halon troll thread. Shouldn’t you have left by now?

So read their contracts or ask your friends.
