That's funny, because as I said, the most adamant cheerleaders SWEAR it doesn't use globalization of ANY kind.
The below was asked, and you answered with what I put below that. So the question is, will it withhold a trip from a senior pilot when a junior pilot has vacation or training so the junior pilot can meet the credit window? Is the senior pilot being denied a specific pairing and is it being awarded to a junior pilot in those cases.

#3 - You have training and it conflicts with trips you could be assigned but the junior pilot has no conflicts. We currently only get 4 hours of credit per day of training meaning yearly recurrent is only worth 16 hours when you bid. This one honestly should have been negotiated to include the CBT credit (~4 hours) or with the option for a higher virtual credit.
#4 - Either you have a carry over pairing that causes conflicts or they have a carry over pairing that gives just enough credit. I honestly think there should be a union controlled over-ride on this one.
