Does anyone like PBS?
My company does not currently have PBS but we are seriously considering it. I jumpseat alot and have never met anyone who has PBS who actually likes it. Does anyone that has PBS like it? Is it any better than lines of time? Pluses? Minuses? What are some protections that you would suggest we incorporate? Please discuss.

Management at any company loves PBS!

Award: Day Trips 3 with start times beginning > 10am and ending times < 8pm.
Personally I think it's the best option especially if you're a commuter.

Examples;
The quality of the software itself, the quality of your CBA if applicable
How well your scheduling committee is able to oversee it's operation since it's not like traditional line bidding and it's easy to tell if seniority was honored or not
How well the software operates in the parameters it supposed to.
Ask the CAL guys how much they like PBS bidding. When the get done complaining, if there's any time left, ask them if it honors seniority.

PBS only works well if the trip pairings put into the system are good.
In the case of my company, we just started using it and most are unhappy. The main problem for us is the very low staffing levels!! We could hire a couple dozen people and maybe it will make a difference.
My experience has been the same as most. My lines have been ok at best. Very few days off and somewhat commutable.
IF you are in the top 10% of seniority you will love it. Other than that ...good luck!
