A bottom of the barrel line holder in PBS will have NO choice in what they get because they are bottom of the barrel. They get scraps and the only opportunity to change it is when someone drops a trip for a sick call.

In our line bidding system, a bottom of the barrel line holder will get the opportunity in the ILIW to swap his trips for all the trips that were dropped as a result of month to month conflicts, training, vacation, etc. Which ends up being A LOT of open time to choose from.

I am an early 2011 hire and with the ILIW I get what I want... this month it is 18 days off and nearly 90 hours.
