Just a minor clarification. It's 150% if you actually credit above 85, not block. I did MLR twice. Blocked around 75 and awarded credit 94 both times. Pay was 98.5 hours.

I believe most were manipulated into that collective insanity while a few outright worked hard at avoiding the merger.
Just my take.

Myself, I just wasn’t willing to give up trip trading for 7 days out of every month.

Frankly, I’ve used both PBS and line bidding. Really, what matters most is the contract language and who runs the programs. I personally have preferred PBS as it gives me more options as a senior pilot and this industry is supposed to be about seniority.
Having said that, I don’t think it’s an issue that should have held up merging. Either system we picked we would have survived and everyone would complain no matter which one we chose.
