This is true. One nice thing about PBS with Spirit (potential) is the red/green system. Most companies PBS leads to ~0 open time, thus no flexibility and reserves flying rarely (not necessarily a bad thing). But with the ability to drop Green open time should still remain a viable option for schedule improvement throughout any given month.
PBS theoretically removes IOT, thus less RSV coverage needed.
