How important is seniority?
And this is coming from someone who is benefiting from the new system. Although, not as much as those with 12-14 years of seniority bidding T-Tail land MD88 B reserve. They win.
The first part of your premise is flawed. We HAD a pure seniority-based Reserve system, and as I recall, it was so beautiful you mostly had to worry about being senior enough for Reserve. This isn't a seniority-based sytem, it's a (RAW) system that was fundamentally designed NOT to respect seniority, and ensure lower credit time. The RAW system has one, and only one, benefficiary: the company.
As for the second part, if a 12-14 year F/O "wins" by bidding 88 Reserve, does he/she not deserve to?
