Why do pilots come to these boards to ask PBS questions during the bidding window and wait/hope for a timely answer?
There is a resource run by the union and staffed by PBS trainers/volunteers to assist with bidding questions during the bidding window:

This site is posted each and every month in the PBS Committee newsletter blastmailed to all pilots around the time bidding opens. They have a live chat window to have a conversation with an expert to help you figure out a bid strategy.
Not trying to be a **** at all. Just saying there is a better (official) option than the pilot forums to get the most accurate answer.

No, but assuming you haven't submitted a reserve bid group anywhere in your month's line up, it will go into lineholder completion mode and build you a legal line. Its last ditch effort (completion mode 4) inserts AWARD Work (L--) as your first line, thus guaranteeing you a line full of out-base redeyes and non-commutable trips. But a line nonetheless.

The obvious answer is to let FOs have 2 extra days to bid since they don't even process our bids until after the Captains have been completed. We are just locked out and nothing is happening with them. There is no reason today with the current level of computing power that this thing can't just publish lines in a couple hours and not days. My guess is that the back end looks alot like the front end (or whatever you computer guys call it) and the solver is just another thrown together POS.
