So, working six to seven days is not enough for the junior guy? At what point is it ok for the senior guy to get off the couch and come to work? I just listened to a senior guy talk to an ALPA rep in the JFK crew lounge recently. He was talking about how unfair it is that there are buckets to begin with. He was telling the ALPA rep (and the ALPA rep was agreeing) that reserve should be 100% seniority based. Junior guy always flies. Nice. I know it's coming. Didn't somebody just submit a proposal to remove the bucket system?
