You serious..? I think you're confusing a stagnant seniority list and reductions in flying with PBS issues. If you're a middle of the pack reserve pilot, especially at DTW then the reason that you don't have a line is...you're junior and no one is leaving. If you were in ATL...you would be on reserve. If you were at IAD...you would be on reserve. Are you seriously saying that you DON'T like the one part of the system that actually benefits you? So one more time, just to be clear, if you are a reserve pilot and someone junior to you is awarded a line, it was not at your expense. It's simply not possible. They were awarded a line after your schedule was created. They were awarded a line because A) they had preassigned credits that allowed them to reach their min credit with fewer trips; B) you did not select "award all pairings before reserve" or C) the pre assigned credits which you selected could not create a full schedule with the trips that were left over at your seniority. Trust me, I know it sucks but remember, what goes around, comes around. A few times a year it will be your turn to benefit from the system. Maybe someday we'll see some movement on this side of the company and it won't be an issue.
