In the future when you can't hold an entire schedule with 2 days, you can at least hold a few 2 days with PBS and then attempt to trade what's left. With line bidding, you'd never be able to hold 2 days when ASA takes over your pairing construction. You'd be stuck with an entire schedule of 4 days and then it would be up to you to trade out the entire month. I can't think of an easier way to explain this. ASA loves 4 day pairings. They will eliminate as many 1, 2, and 3 day pairings as they can and your 60% seniority will not be able to hold an entire schedule of 2 day pairings during the initial bid run. With PBS, you can get SOME 2 days and trade the rest.
