As a junior pilot stuck on perpetual reserve, a week of vacation may actually be the ticket to holding a line one month while there are a lot of guys senior to you on reserve. That was one thing that really bothered me about PBS at my previous airline, but it comes with the territory.

The senior pilots will get to cherry pick their trips and still take advantage (although not quite as much as current book) of working over their vacations.

In general I think we will see less trips available in open time and on the trade board because more people will get what they want in the initial bid.
