That being said, if I was senior with more than one primary vacation and sitting on a nice chunk of cash I would think differently.
But ... even without PBS you can trade/swap for trips that get you the days you want ... remember the final bid awards show everyone’s pairings (even folks who hide from CSS) which let’s you start looking to change into the days you want!
Plus with line bidding conflict bidding for training and even over integration every month can be very valuable. That would be lost with PBS.
