We didn't work more when we used pref bidding.

I always looked at PB as a QOL issue. Depending on seniority, PB gave us a much better handle on what we wanted to do every month than the traditional 'bid package' system did.

PB, as I understood it, was all about efficiency...getting the job done with the least amount of excess manning. I suppose those who think that a labor contract is supposed to provide the most money for the least work for the maximum number of people will always oppose such a view. That sounds good until we look at the real world outcome of such thinking.
