I'm sorry if I'm still not getting it - but I think you're asking how would secondary lines work under a PBS system?

With PBS, there are no secondary lines. In simple terms, everyone gets our current equivalent if a secondary line. Everyone inputs their desires and lines get built based on them. No need for secondaries since there are no vacation, training or other types of conflicts that create the flood of open trips we currently see after training is bid, vacations are slid, etc. PBS builds the schedules around those known conflicts.
