At first I didn't see any difference with the practice PBS award, but after looking away for a few hours and letting my initial anger pass it does look better than what I've been getting the last 9 months. There is only one block of four days that rolls me from a night flight, to a layover, then to a long day flight. It seems more productive overall, but the question is why did the system leave so many X days and what will those be turned into? Days off, probably NOT
Anything is better than what we have now. At least we can try and have some say in what we get rather than NO say at all!
And I just have to say it, no I'm not happy with PBS results this round. However, for anyone to suggest that staying with the current system of letting planning build our schedules with no oversight or seniority involved needs to reevaluate their thought process.....or even take some much needed leave
