Banshee, I understand that the "logic" works in seniority order. I was giving you 3 examples of the reverse happening. It's frustrating when you are the one getting screwed, our system has more the one way of doing that. Being a middle of the pack reserve in DTW I'm tired of hearing the good about PBS when I hear and see the opposite when I go to work. Only been here since April and 3 times people junior to me were awarded lines. I'm not arguing why the system did that, I am saying I don't like logic behind it. The fun part comes when I try to explain to my friends at other companies why I didn't get a line yet again. All I get is raised eyebrows and the "that's not right" look. I'm not going to argue for a system that has blatant and glaring drawbacks.
