SO - Where's the SLI?
#81
The last sentence may be true from my query of many of those who are paralleling (at least so far), but I think pay will go down for the high-timers and most especially the premium patrol. PBS is designed to eliminate inefficiencies and so less open time will mean less reserve scrambling, less premium and less ability to TTOT. I think most will have a better chance at post award schedule modification via TT with other pilots or picking up what they want to drop. If you are a high-timer, you'll still be able to get some extra, but less open time means less flexibility in doing so and just like eliminating the requirement of paying for conflicts, a lessor requirement to pay premium.
I'm not a high-timer, but I know some premium hounds who will take a big hit IMO. No way to truly know how it will all shake out until ALL bid statuses go PBS and then see how things settle down.

On the flip side of the coin I hear TTS will only be better with PBS.

Yalls TTOT doesn't sound very good if it doesn't allow you to trade a three day or four day for a two day or one day. I had an AA guy on the Jumpseat saying something about the color code won't let you do stuff like that.

SO - Where's the SLI?
Never said it would be great for a junior guy, in fact I said it wouldn't. There's always the bad with the good, but compared to what we have now, I'll take my chances. I'm looking forward to it because I know as I get more senior, my schedule will be much better than it otherwise would have. Everyone has different priorities when it comes to their schedule, so we can go round and round on this topic forever. But I do know that for my next 30 or so years at this airline, about 70% of it will be at the top half of the seniority list. Personally, I'd much rather build my own monthly line rather than someone else do it for me and hopefully I can fix it later.
I'm not sure we 'build our own line,' rather we just have a new bidding system that takes pre-built company lines and auto eliminates conflicts. Hopefully I'm wrong?!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oops! Sorry! Wrong thread! SLI Sucks!
Fixed it!!!

Depends on your status (Base/Equipment/Seat) and time of year. For most, green is fairly rare. The longer the trip, the less often you'll see it green. You can trade a red trip for one that isn't as red. Yes, that's screwy, but this is AA.

Nope. You build your own line using the pairings available to you. That's how PBS works.

So far, IMO I haven't seen a single post of substance on this topic including my own, so drift is predictable. Once less questionable leaks start (most likely at or after the comment period), then it will become more robust. Once the award is out, it should be downright explosive.
I can't believe what an injustice the arbitrators have come up with,
I have lost ##% of system seniority over my pre merger standing.
I am now junior to ______ who wasn't even hired by _____ airline by the time I was off probation.

Should this be universally applied to everyone or just one or more specific subgroups ?
