True, but if the Reserve system entices one senior person to move into Reserve, then one low-seniority pilot gets to improve their bidding position, for a line, by one number. His point stands.
Then again, I also see your point: it's all sort of
degrees of crap, in the bottom 25% of lines for the NYC 7ER.
