Depends on your end goal.

Maybe it’s changed, but you generally had to be ridiculously senior to reliably get PBS to work in your favor. For me it was pretty much 3 weekends a month and every possible holiday for years on end until I hit the top 10% of FO’s and then rinse and repeated with upgrade.

Also keep in mind that PBS is based on a 28 day month. So while the system will usually seek to work you 16 days a month on average, it’s actually more like 17-19 days a calendar month depending on how the schedule falls, and how many days are in that month.

It’s not s PBS problem, but rather the size of the company and the needs of the model.
