If you make the raw score high enough then it becomes a seniority based system. The beneficiary is the very senior pilot. The loser is the pilot that is one number junior and back.

Under the old system the weekends on crowd flew a lot because they were always down to min coverage, same now. So no change. In my category, it's not uncommon to see GS's on Sunday and 80 pilots on reserve with 21 required on Monday.

Under the new system for the weekends off crowd, and this is the dirty little secret and I'll let the cat out of the bag, most of us in my category flew 1 maybe 2 trips a month max and some of that was off SC. That was about 40-50 pilots. Now, a few pilots are flying 0 trips and the others a picking up the load and flying to the brink of bucket 2 but not necessarily getting there. Anotherwords, its seniority based for almost all of those weekends off pilots all month. A lot more pilots QOL has gone down than pilots whose QOL has gone up. I don't like that kind of system. I'll explain in another post.

mm, what I said was I'm benefiting from the system, not as much as some which was just adding color to the comment, but still don't believe it's right.
