Personally there's almost no raise that'd persuade me to vote for PBS. Certainly none that I believe Fedex would offer. Again your sentiments concern me. Money isn't everything, especially if you're too wiped out to "enjoy" it. Time off to enjoy life, family and friends is always what counts in the long run.
One of my friends that rails against PBS is at United now. He has nothing but severe contempt, and he's one of the smartest guys and best pilots I know.
I know you're saying you prefer our system. But then you once again state examples, and give me several impressions that you'd be willing to entertain it. The efficiency would shove everyone backwards, top load seniority and screw the bottom half at least, and destroy the vacation system. Terrible idea for a few bucks and a bit of bidding preference.
Not trying to pig pile on you bud, but I sure hope you're in a very small minority at FedEx re: opening the door for PBS.

Sure, you can't knock out your line with training, which I've done many, many times. While I'll gladly take advantage of this kind of stuff, it really abrogates seniority. Why should a junior guy get first dibs at trips (CIC) before a more senior pilot that bids a secondary line? Look, I've gone from 30% to 90% recently, but I chose to be junior.
Again, I'm not advocating PBS, but if the system was designed adequately, and the price is right, I'd listen. Not saying I'd be interested.
You want to buy my house? Car? Not saying I'd sell it, but I'd hear your offer...
We had 57% of us agree to a lousy contract, why not keep it going...

Please explain what you mean/how your bolded statement above can be accomplished. I am not aware of any way of doing that. 
Regardless, I am a big NO for PBS. Of course our Secondary Lines suck!! Mainly because the company is using a first generation PBS system and apparently loves it (and the loss of goodwill that goes with it).

Flew with an FO that started coughing and sniffling regularly enroute to the west coast.
Believe this ... this dude was sick.
I gave him a few options:
Call in sick.
Or.
I'll remove you from the trip.
Pretty simple.
He called in sick and went home. Good choice. The better choice is simply stay home.

Did you give him a scrip after you rendered your diagnosis?
Finally, how exactly were you going to remove him from the trip?
I'm glad you don't suffer from any allergies.

I'm not always at my peak performance in my own cockpit. Half the time, I'm below average.

So, Doc, if he was so sick ... and contagious ... why did you let him fly from the west coast to Memphis?

It can be annoying for sure that adults can't figure out the difference.
Was at a restaurant the other day when one high school graduate asked another (waiter asks waiter) what 36 divided by 2 is. The other said "13...? No- 16" before the first guy had to use the calculator on his cell to figure it out...
Ugh.
