So now that y’all have experienced Alaska Airlines running your PBS for you how is it going. Everyone still getting commutable 85hr 18 day off lines?
Here is what the Alaska base chief pilots are saying ,”When we took over and got a good look at how Virgin scheduled pilots we found lots of opportunity for improvement. So much that we wont need to put anybody in the Airbus for awhile”.
I have heard that two different times now. Curious what that means for Airbus crews.

If this is true then I will let you know on April 10th. So far if it has only been a couple of weeks, like you say, then we are not currently flying what Alaska is dishing out. If crew planning has been screwing with our schedules for two months, then no, my schedule has not changed, plenty of days off. April schedule came out on March 10th.

April: 75 hours, one week vacay. Five 24 hour layovers at home. 16 days off plus the 5 layover days is 21 at home. All commutable. (I’ll take the bullet for the negotiators if necessary but hate being lectured about how line bidding is our best bet)

Expect schedules to go to hell soon though, particularly as soon as VX makes the switch to AS line bidding.
