I actually didn't waive anything, but there are acceptable lines given out to people below me that would have worked on my line easily. I understand being below the G line puts me at pbs mercy, but based on seniority I assume the people junior to me should be hosed first???

I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Just FYI the PBS guys don't recommend filing a dispute until after youve called them and looked at it together. Call them though at best the system might have screwed up(I doubt it) at worst you'll learn something new. It helped me.

Unfortunately no, they got lines and you didn't because the system was able to find a better overall solution after taking into account everyone's pre-assignments and preferences. Our PBS is not a seniority based system.

It's not called the "seniority bidding system." It's called the Preferential Bidding System.
You may prefer this, or you may prefer that. but it doesn't really matter what you prefer because the job of the system is to put butts in seats.
