PBS will have finals out by the 20th of the month in the future, earlier than the old way.
With PBS they can't award lines immediately because there are no lines. As soon as bidding closes they start building schedules from the pairings in seniority order. That's why it takes longer, because they build schedules from scratch with pairings rather than award lines that are already built.
It takes a few more day to get an idea of what our month will be like than before, but the final is five days earlier, including the first three days of the month.
PS; PBS just built my 7 day vacation to 20 straight days off for APR.
PBS turned my 7 days vac this month into 16. Would have been more but AQP was in there. Next month, I got 15 days off with a nice 7 day break in the middle without vac. On line bidding, I only averaged about 12 days off/mo.
No complaints here!!!
