What's next? Taking away seniority for White slips? Cause you know those senior guys get all the good trips.

Huge win ALPA and thanks for listening to our input.
Agree in principle, but in my and FTBs category, most reserves never get near 80 raw in the slow months. I'm mid-level reserve, junior if I bid weekends off. I see myself working a 4 day every week while the more senior reserves don't fly all month. Seniority needs to be honored, but not at the expense of junior guys flying 69.5 hours while senior reserves sit on permanent vacation. Adjusting the buckets to 30-40 point increments for fat categories would work much better.
