From the TA Q&A:
"Is the SLR a PBS system?
A: The Secondary Line Working Group (SLWG) was established to pursue a new software to replace the current first generation PBS software in use today in the Secondary system. The SLWG shall be responsible for the development, implementation and initial oversight and administration of the SLR. The Vice President of Flight Operations and MEC Chairman must agree on the final acceptance of the SLR prior to its implementation (SLR LOA para. E) pg. 599"
So even though they talk around it, the software will be PBS and it will be approved/accepted by the same authority whose staff crafted this TA. Not really the statement of reassurance that it was meant to be when considering this TA on aggregate.
