Right. Obviously that's way faster. PBS is a hyper dymanic engine that goes up and down and back up and down again probably hundreds of times. Many pilots simply bid parameters, like no reports before 12:45PM for example. A first run may give them trips that meet that, but then lower seniority pilots bid something that causes trips to be removed from senior pilot's lines and given to them as long as the senior criteria can still be met, etc.
The product that comes out the other end absolutely needs to be checked. That's more than worth the "price" of not getting it 5 seconds after bids close.
