I feel that attrition will start to get ugly for us going forward. I saw a ton of SW folks at NGPA and WIA. We have already lost 23 CA for the month and 14 last week. Not to mention all the FO's we are losing to Spirit, VA and JB. We have lost 72 CA and 79 FO's YTD.

Leadership has changed and CC is not JA. SW used to hold the title of a labor friendly airline, but things are changing. Look at the PBS debacle this month. SAPA all but said yeah it screwed up, we will take care of those that complain enough and there isn't anything we can do. There are definitely worse places out there, and we do seem to still be able to get people to the first day of class. But burning pilots out with high credit schedules heading into the busy summer seems like a recipe for disaster. Time will tell.

I don't see how anyone can justify not re-running the bid.
The entire global solution is wrong and the only way to fix it is a redo with the programmed error fixed.

I have a debacle, granted I've only had a few months of bidding but still being in 70% I should be able to get something I want besides all CN. I talked to PBS helpline today and they said that pbs attempted to schedule me several 95 hours (which I want) and 4 day trips (which I want) but because I have 1 day that carries in on the 1st of April it screwed the bid and couldn't assign me the things I wanted during the first half. So my first half of the month is CN not giving me a single day I wanted off. Have to wait till the 24th till its on skedplus to start wheeling and dealing with other people or swapping open time trips with ones I've been assigned within CN to at least get 2 weekdays off that I wanted.

We need a new vendor ASAP!!!!! There should be some predictably and there's absolutely NONE!! The CN/PN crap is getting old. All of the leftover pairings should be dumped into open time and not forced onto us!

So.. After looking at the sapa fourm, there are 8 pilots that have complained and found a problem.. Thats 8 out of 3840. Doubt that constitutes a pbs debacle... And sorry for the grammer. I usualy have kids jumping on me while i type. Want to stay involved in this forum but family comes first... Hence the typing errors..
