PBS isn't so much a problem in and of itself. Global solution is. There are PBS systems that exist that do not abrogate seniority and are much more user friendly.

I get your point about staffing but I would hate to go back to bidding on prebuilt lines.
We could probably eliminate the whole global solution thing by getting rid of a published g line. Let the computer build lines in seniority order. When it can't build any more legal lines, everyone below just goes on reserve and the left over trips would go into open time. I'd guess the reserve line would move up about 5%, but the senior guys would get more of their choices.
