So, anyone think we need to improve PBS priorities now? PBS can abrogate seniority any time it needs. This will be problematic at best. Good luck to you all.

This is not news. Yet, the ALPA reps that brought it to us so many years ago defended it as if it were their offspring, while claiming the importance of seniority. Those of us that were not biased could see through it , but hey the other ALPA carriers had it so we should too!

Reminds me of something my mother used to say about jumping off bridges.

I have to offer a slight difference of opinion.

Lines were not so great.

You had lines with weekends off. You had lines with transcons. You had lines that were mostly commutable. You had high time lines. You had low time lines. No matter what, even if you were the number one pilot in base the line you picked inevitably had compromises.

Is PBS perfect. Not by a mile.

Is PBS maybe just sorta a slight improvement over lines . . . I think it is.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Generally, people can get "some" of the pairing characteristics that they want with PBS. I get more of what I want with PBS, factoring in relative seniority. It's not a perfect system, but I like it better than the old line bidding. If they could add some Boolean logic to the avoid/award parameters (if/then/else), I think it would be better.
