There's too many variable to sum it up as being that easy, or that great.
Examples;
The quality of the software itself, the quality of your CBA if applicable
How well your scheduling committee is able to oversee it's operation since it's not like traditional line bidding and it's easy to tell if seniority was honored or not
How well the software operates in the parameters it supposed to.
Ask the CAL guys how much they like PBS bidding. When the get done complaining, if there's any time left, ask them if it honors seniority.
