Every month I've been able to do something different that is flexible to meet my needs. The guys who complain the most about PBS either have unreasonable expectations (if you can't hold weekends off, PBS won't fix it for you) or they have issues with the pairings and blame it on PBS.
In IAD right now we have a real problem with the company not building commutable pairings with high enough credit for guys to build a schedule with. DTW frequently has a similar problem.
