You all are so screwed. Our PBS sort of rewards the guys at the top (although once the "unstacking" starts, they get screwed too) and screws the most junior guys and reserves.

Good luck ever getting days off you ask for unless you're #1 or 2 on your roster, and never ever getting them off if you're a reserve.

And stand by for more furloughs... Our management has managed to use use PBS to furlough more and more pilots, figuring they can JRA and offer incentive flying to guys who will stab their mothers for opentime at 1.5x the normal rate.

PBS is designed for mainline carriers who have their own schedules, and want to staff the routes... it's not for Fee-For-Depature carriers whose trips come from other sources and are constrained by what they get rather than what they build themselves.

NO PBS... Hope it's gone soon... and if you get it, you're gonna regret it without language to hold Management's feet to the fire. Otherwise you're gonna get burned.
