Seems that most of the respondent's post regarding the survey on this forum are fairly consistent. The one question I have is regarding reserve. When some express a desire to bring seniority into the reserve system, what exactly does this mean? Does it mean that the more senior get to choose to stay at home and not fly?

I expressed a desire to have two separate systems. You are either a line holder, or you are a reserve pilot. If your seniority can hold a line, then you can't randomly decide to bid reserve during the holidays to get more time at home.

If seniority were considered in the reserve system, instead of RAW value, wouldn't the more junior folks be getting a worse deal than we have already? If the systems were separated, at least the junior guys would have the opportunity to have a little seniority within the reserve system. And that seniority would only apply for bidding purposes, not choosing to stay home and not fly. Thoughts?
