Wrt to an apparently now delayed implementation of the PBS, rumours abound:
- It was run in a test mode which seemingly resulted in some flights being over-crewed, and yet others not being crewed at all?
- Insufficient crew numbers to cope with the flying program resulting in the PBS failing to deliver the much vaunted improvements in lifestyle?
- Loss of control of the crews schedules would diminish certain departmental fiefdoms; which - to some at least - would seemingly be a truly deplorable situation?
- ...?
Take your pick ?!
