PBS choice is made. From the little I know it seems a good choice, anybody have experience? Also info on how to operate?

I’d bet that if you’re senior and figure out how to use the software your schedules will get much better. If you’re junior they’ll get worse. Middle of the pack and it probably won’t make much of a difference.

They'll get worse?

Half the lines in the system have 13-14 off and min credit.

They can't get any worse

Even the most garbage lines today still have some weekends and holidays off. Maybe a commutable trip or two thrown in there. With PBS be ready for those 6 day stretches over the weekend all month with 4 days off in between. Granted if none of that matters to you you’re probably not in for too much of a shock. But you are right, the lines have been pretty bad and it being summer and all this is when they should be better...

Yep. Senior guys will have all weekends off, junior guys will have zero weekends off. The vendor choice doesn't change that.

I know you guys are scared but honestly don't be. PBS has been absolutely fantastic for me as a junior and mid level seniority bidder. You're seriously going to love it and wonder how in the world you ever suffered through line bidding.

I had it for 11 years and it sucked like a black hole powered Hoover.

The take away? It’s all about how it’s applied.

This is 100% correct. It isn’t pbs it’s the contract that’s behind it. I think with our rigs and days off it won’t be that bad. I’m assuming you had pbs at a regional like I did and sure it was terrible but it wasn’t PBS’s fault. It was the garbage contract that we had. 6 day stretches followed by 1 day off at the monthly transition followed by another 6 on wasn’t uncommon. But here the contractual rules will prohibit stuff like that from occurring.

It's all in the rigs. 100% in the rigs. Were you at Republic? Were you there before the 2015 contract?
