So, I think the point is that it takes 8 days of "work" to get into bucket 2 while people two other people in bucket 1 have 15:00 of flying and 0:00.
iaflyer,
You are making my point. He worked 7 days and now he is at the back of the list. Now the guy with 15:00 will go out ahead of him the rest of the month or until he also gets onto bucket 2. If the senior guys never reach bucket 2 our guy is at the back of the list for the rest of the month after only working 7 days.
Now I will agree that the separate S/C bucket issue is not optimal and needs to be improved but I personally don't see 7 days and less than 33 block hours as being unfair to get to bucket 2 especially if it get you to the back of the list for the rest of the month.
