ASA PBS agreed to
All:
I am pleased to share that ASA and ALPA have worked together to come to a conceptual agreement on a preferential bidding system (PBS) program for ASA. Details about the new program will be communicated over the coming weeks by ALPA and we will work together on implementation over the next several months. I appreciate the hard work that representatives from both ASA and ALPA put forth to reach this agreement.

Unless you have a 35+ page LOA with strong language I can only say one thing.
I am sorry.
If you are senior, you will prob like it. Mid-level it's hit or miss, not much control other than a couple specific days off and some preference to trips, if you are junior- no control.
At least that's how it works at pinnacle and I think we have been running it the longest at the regional level (may be wrong there).

Best of luck. PBS is a joke.
Awesome if your senior, as they get exactly what they want.
Mid-level, its hit and miss; some months good, others terrible.
Junior = bend over. You will get nothing you ask for, generally backed up against one another.
Common schedule at Mesa: 4 on, 1 off, 4 on, 2 off, 4 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off, 1 on, 1 off, 4 on. You get the idea. Not commuter friendly whatsoever.

I'd say wait for ALPA to laydown the details before jumping to conclusions. Also, some of you have mentioned it in other ASA forums, we do have the 5yr review from DL next year and PBS would save us a lot of money.

All I can say is that this further affirms that ALPA sold out the guys who were furloughed - after months of the company 'not coming to the table' an agreement is reached less than two weeks after the latest round. Nice.
And, no, I'm not bitter!
