Back on reserve for the first time since the "bucket system" has been in use. Couple questions:

1. Do you have to "bid" or put in for any thing with regard to seniority? It looks like the raw value is computed for you, and then everyone gets put in the days avail bucket in seniority order. Is there any way to tell them you do not wish to fly or do want to fly?

2. Seems like if you are senior, do not want to fly a lot and it's not busy, it's a good deal.

What are some "gotcha's" that have come up with the newer system.

Thanks
