Only way I'd even consider PBS is if vacation were applied after the award and overlap rules stay the same as today.

That defeats the whole reason mgt would want it. Be easier just to do line bidding. Don't try to fix what isn't broken

Just a little light-hearted trolling.

I'm coming up on my probationary check. I've had a blank line for the last four, maybe five months. I have flown 600 hours since January, and have yet to go below 97 TFP since I started flying the line. Last month I did 115, in July I did 125.

This all depends on the domicile and trip trading, but it's been good for me. It's a good gig.

Looking forward to checking out the new contract, and never voting for PBS.

Wow, that's amazing. Some people on here have been here for 21 years and never see that type of schedule!

During the summer, I nearly broke 100 in one month. The rest of the time has been close to 90.

Please no pbs.

Oh, I've seen those kinds of schedules, and worse. I just avoid them like the plague nowadays.

The only time you'll see me with over 110 or so is in the months I can get rid of my straight time trips and replace them with good paying premium trips, like I did in July. I only flew 2 days out of 14 at straight pay, and the 2 day paid over 17. NOT a normal month by any means.

What I have never seen is a bid line with much over 110 or so on an, and even that's a rare occurrence. The average is well below 100 tfp. You simply can't bid lines that average 108tfp every month of the year. To make what he did, or even 108 (most months) you have to work on your days off, which was my point from the beginning.

FWIW, if I work more than 12 days, I consider that working into days off.

It also triggers another commute, which I also avoid like the plague unless it's for a good paying (10+ tfp per day) premium.
