Right, but do you wear a flag tie, and even more importantly, are you willing to pay for PBS?

No, no flag tie. And I’d like to SAY I wouldn’t pay for PBS... but I never imagined I would pay for a lot of things that employers typically provide. And yet here i am paying for CrewBid, and CrewBuddy, and Swaptimizer, and uniforms, and parking...

So, who knows.

The day the company starts paying for Swaptimizer, a vacation optimizing app, is the day I start updating my application at other airlines!

I'd vote for PBS if my retro check is big enough. Since I've already spent my retro I need to vote yes.

Exactly! You'll only have to work a few more days per month to make up the pay difference!

Not much difference between working 20 and 22 days, right, and think of all of the other wonderful benefits PBS would bring...... Be sure to vote YES!

BTW... did you pay for your type rating?

We are working hard to ensure that we all get 4 full days off every month!
