On a side note, the company did state that the new PBS would be introduced irrespective of the voting result. The only difference is that they would have endeavoured to have it in place within 6 months after the new EBA came into effect.
This is correct, however the efficiency of the system will be greatly diminished due to to the new work rules not being introduced. The system will not be as effecient using the old rules and the % of successful bids and the style of bids will not be much better than is currently in place as there is no flexibility within the current work rules.
The new work rules blended with the new bidding system would have allowed us to build our own roster. Now I'll just pop in my bids as per normal and get exactly what I didn't want as per usual.
