I have to put blame for this on ALPA. They are the ones that pushed for PBS at CAL and put this silly vacation bid system in to replace one that was simple, worked and everybody got awarded all their vacation if they wanted to bid it all - although not necessarily all the days they wanted.
You can actually hire someone to bid PBS for you
? I thought I was lazy when I hired someone to do the landscaping

Honestly, I don't think the computer vacation bidding is any less complicated than the old "books and cards" we used to use, but just my opinion. I think people resist anything new and unknown when they're comfortable with an existing system (myself included). I had the old PBS system pretty much nailed, and it took about 6 bid cycles to reach the same comfort level with the new PBS system. Now if I could just get used to Windows 8
