I think that senior folks in larger categories are going to enjoy the positives from the new rules more than senior folks in small categories. If you are senior in a larger category, then you are much more likely to have people junior to you on any given days of availability but in a smaller category, there just aren't enough people to pad the senior folks each day of availability - thus increasing your chances of flying while being senior.

I think the new system is good and I believe the 80 RAW to be a fair bucket threshold. I look forward to seeing the short call seniority implemented. I do believe that the new system is going to be a pain for the extremely junior folks, especially for the commuters.

I'm currently a handful from the bottom in my category (hoping to get displaced next bid to go to more junior equipment) so I while I certainly understand the plight of the junior folks, I welcome the new system.
