Since they call in reverse seniority order and they called me; they had already tried 85% of the pilots below me. I'd say that's pretty good. Too bad they fill the trips with management pilots, scabs, and the few idiots willing to make a couple extra dollars at everyone else's expense. The far majority of the "culture" here is fine, but it only takes a few to cover the trips.
