Sorry, I was probably unclear. The contract would be implemented shortly after signing. PBS will be implemented by the end of 2022.

Currently, we bid hard lines, which means someone else creates all the lines. You have to manually filter through all the lines available for the month and determine which order you want to bid. The current system is a very long and time consuming way to bid.
PBS is a more efficient solution for bidding and gives pilots more flexibility in their bids. However, it’s only as good as the trips the company creates.

Training contract has been eliminated for over 2 years now. It used to be pretty standard in the industry, but in today’s hiring climate, they wouldn’t even consider doing one. They used to make you pay for your own hotels while in training too, but the company pays for them now.

Also, industry standard (being the aviation industry as a whole, not necessarily only 121 carriers), training contracts were, and in some cases, still are used. Think part 135, corporate, etc. I’m sure many people have signed them who can speak to their common use in the past.
I have signed 3 training contracts in my career, the last of which was signed when I was at a regional in 2018. So, while not widely used anymore, they were definitely part of our industry not long ago.

I never said they were industry standard two years ago. What I said was “training contract has been eliminated for over 2 years now. It used to be pretty standard in the industry.” Both of those statements are true.
