PBS sucks period.
Just to clarify I meant no PBS system is perfect. I would have no issue going back to a preconstructed line system also provided we go back to the old trip trade format since everyone seemed to like that. To me having preconstructed lines doesnt mean much if i still can't trade anything and am stuck with what I have.
I also agree with FLARE. Delta's PBS isn't the disaster that ours is. Trust me because my dad bids with it every month. He is no where near top of his catagory but gets a schedule every month that reflects his preferences. All I am saying is let's think each scenario through. If we go back to preconstructed lines lets not half ass it and if we are stuck with this thing then let's get a system that works.
