PBS was great when we had it. It would take me all of 2 minutes to put in the days off I wanted, with the layovers or 3-day trips I wanted. Paris, London, Maui or Honolulu...and frequently I'd get what I bid for. Two 3-day trips back to back, only 2 commutes, 12 days off work, 18 days off.
When AA bought us, I wqent back to looking thru phone-book sized bid packages, trying to sort out what I would bid. It took hours to accurately bid, and I hated it. It was like going back in time to my first airline job.
Time for AA (If APA helps manage it) to get some form of PBS; time to get off that unpaved, dirt access road that parallels the information superhighway!
