I think most will have a better chance at post award schedule modification via TT with other pilots or picking up what they want to drop. If you are a high-timer, you'll still be able to get some extra, but less open time means less flexibility in doing so and just like eliminating the requirement of paying for conflicts, a lessor requirement to pay premium.

I'm not a high-timer, but I know some premium hounds who will take a big hit IMO. No way to truly know how it will all shake out until ALL bid statuses go PBS and then see how things settle down.
Yalls TTOT doesn't sound very good if it doesn't allow you to trade a three day or four day for a two day or one day. I had an AA guy on the Jumpseat saying something about the color code won't let you do stuff like that.

On the flip side of the coin I hear TTS will only be better with PBS.
