Not so fast.
Remember, the whole point of PBS from The Company's perspective is to increase productivity and thereby reduce manning, i.e. costs.
When manning is decreased because PBS makes us more efficient, there won't be sufficient reserves to cover drops. You'll own the trips you're awarded, no drops, no trades, no changes. PBS has often been compared to our Secondary Line construction. It's actually much worse. With PBS you'll get your trips and you'll like them, period.
