yeah, nothing to do with PBS...they create the pairings before it goes out to bid. without PBS, they'd still create the pairings, put them into hard lines, then go out to bid. same pairings. complaints are about the pairing constructs, not about the concept of PBS as a system. we need to make sure we're complaining about the right things! if they make better pairings, we'll be in much better shape overall.
