In all honesty the 2 or 3 I have ran into that didn't like PBS were because they didn't take the time to learn it or ask questions. As a matter of fact, all 3 of them thought vacation low built their schedule to 65 hours, when in fact it tries to build it to 75 and is ok with finishing it at 65 as long as you conflict accordingly. (still a confusing concept for some). So, they were mostly mad at the fact they got more than 8 days of work in a vacation month which was due to their own lack of understanding how it works.
My bad on that number. I was thinking of the number of pilots on the 7/9. I was trying to say most of the junior FO's and Captains that I speak to. Not 200-300 people saying the same thing. Came out wrong.
