I think most will have a better chance at post award schedule modification via TT with other pilots or picking up what they want to drop. If you are a high-timer, you'll still be able to get some extra, but less open time means less flexibility in doing so and just like eliminating the requirement of paying for conflicts, a lessor requirement to pay premium.

I'm not a high-timer, but I know some premium hounds who will take a big hit IMO. No way to truly know how it will all shake out until ALL bid statuses go PBS and then see how things settle down.

On the flip side of the coin I hear TTS will only be better with PBS.

Everyone has different priorities when it comes to their schedule, so we can go round and round on this topic forever. But I do know that for my next 30 or so years at this airline, about 70% of it will be at the top half of the seniority list. Personally, I'd much rather build my own monthly line rather than someone else do it for me and hopefully I can fix it later.

This one belongs to the LAA guys.

The LUS guys will take this one.
