If you're senior you're not supposed to be assigned SC before a jr pilot gets it (same number of days available, and in same SC bucket). You don't have to put in a request for this to be the case. The request is for what SC time you desire if you HAVE to do a SC, and a request to do SC before it's given out to those who aren't asking for it. Am I missing something?
That's not the way I understood it, Jesse. I thought if scheduling had two pilots, with all things being equal between them, except one pilot had a request with preferences to to be used only if needed for SC and the other pilot had nothing, they would put the guy without the request in in SC.
Not that it matters for me. I always seem to be on SC -- regardless of seniority, buckets, days available -- and when I ask them about it, they always have a reason.
If I passed along misinformation, please forgive me.
