If you are driving a busted jalopy and the opportunities for a brand new BMW is offered if you can suffer a few more years, maybe you can endure, (but it could be disastrous on spouses who can’t endure never seeing you for those 5-7 years, or missing that much of your child’s life and not even having the pay to show it).
But if you are driving a 7 year old Accord, sure the new 5 series will be great, but the Accord isn’t all that bad (you get to see your family slightly more often, and a bit more pay).

Your assertion was we "AUTOMATICALLY" get 1-4 extra days off by accepting PBS. That is woefully incorrect and entirely based up on the contractual language they negotiate to construct pairings/rigs/etc. You do know you can have PBS and still get 11 days off right?
PBS is an optimization tool. Who do you think it is optimizing the schedules in favor of? Hint: it's not you.

Same 4hr/day credit for the same 11 days off a month at the price of triple premium pay, Vacation conflict bidding and a smaller pilot group with PBS at Piedmont the way things currently are.

And, please, I’ve preached the language surrounding PBS as vitally important since I’ve first been posting. I understand that.
