Speaking of schedule flexibility, there are officially zero trades I can do next month to change anything.
A trip conflict resulted in me being short on credit, so they went ahead and assigned a useless turn in the middle of my biggest stretch of days off. Why can't we at least give people a day or two to correct their schedule before the low-credit people are assigned something? Based on what was available, there were a number of trips that I would have chosen rather than what I was assigned, all of which would have resulted in being above the credit threshold.
I understand if they don't want to call everyone on the phone all the time to sort it out, but you'd think a 24-48 hour window of allowing us to fix it ourselves wouldn't be that hard to do...

PBS is great... if you have contractual specification for ALL parameters, and pairing construction. That way everybody knows exactly what they are getting into.

Put the turn up for grabs. Problem solved.

AS/VX pilots already lost all leverage for those negotiations the moment the arbitrator granted 0 scope protection a few weeks back...

This is what gets me all riled up. So, we have no leverage! Well, let's give up then. No, we have leverage, a lot. So we have no scope... here sign this crappy deal or we are going to move all the flying to Horizon. They will say that, but they won't do it. They can't do it. We have all the leverage we are willing to fight for.
