If it's true that reserve gets more senior then maybe it will be better to bid a line. One thing that I have learned in the my military and airline career, if you have a good deal, it never seems to last long enough. If it sucks, it seems like it goes on forever. So embrace the suck!
Good Luck
Good point Amish.
The one thing I may have missed, will scheduling still be doing all of this by pen and paper? There will need to be a lot of turning stuff in when they award it incorrectly. Unless they've automated it all next month?
