Why not bring back relief lines? There's going to be left over pairings regardless of PBS. That would eliminate the "lucky line holders".
"lucky line holders" only get a schedule after every polit senior to them has been awarded their schedule first. If a guy has 28 hours of pre assigned credits From vacation, and two four day trips were not bid on or assigned to a more senior pilot then they can hit the 65 hour credit completion window. These are not trips taken from a more senior pilot.
