Ahem..you get your first choice of what the company built the first time around...I get what I want the first time around, not my first choice of pre built lines. I used to get my first choice of lines during line bidding, and I would much rather get my first choice of trips. Comes in especially handy during holiday months.
This Thanksgiving, I did better than I ever did with line bidding. I was able to build a week off around Thanksgiving. One of two weeks off during the month. That would have never happened with line bidding.

Really? Our initial open time has ALWAYS been seniority based. It's really quite simple. You have 12 hour windows during open time where requests are honored based on SENIORITY. Foreign concept I understand....but that's how we roll on the LASA side....
