USMC,
Delta uses a very efficient PBS to award flying. The upside: a very small percentage of reserve vs. lineholders. The downside: Its so efficient we get by with less Pilots. Once you get over the initial pain of switching to the more efficient system, PBS Rocks. I can not hold a July vacation but via PBS strung 13 days in a row off, the last 7 of July, and the first 6 of August.
If anyone is on reserve after 8-10 years it is a choice.
