Having used the current line bidding system for over 1.5yrs now, and the previous PBS bidding system, I have to disagree. While all PBS systems aren't created equal, it has the potential to be a quality of life improvement for the pilot group with the right work rules.
Personally, I'd like a PBS system that has some sort of line improvement window. I don't have the skills or knowledge to figure out how that would work, considering PBS is supposed to reduce the amount of open trips left over, but I think that's something most of the pilot group would get behind.
