The erosion of QOL comes in many ways, like pairings (especially for commuters) and overnights (see CLT). There are also issues like multiple turn backs for reserves. All of these are eroding.
PBS impact has the potential of being a huge erosion of QOL. If I have to spend 5 nights away from home, flying unproductive lines in really bad hotels it will have an effect on my health as well as my wallet.
Whatever plan they present will have to be pretty convincing to expose myself to that.
