I don't like to agree with Probe but for the most part he has the right idea. Quality of lines is better than early delivery. ALPA and the company use to run line results a couple times to optimize for both the company and the pilots. The results were better lines for all.
Cullen B. has a wealth of knowledge on the different PBS systems out there and was instrumental in the initial implementation of PBS at LUAL. Hopefully ALPA can get him involved (draft if necessary) in the selection and implementation of a better system.
