OBTW - the system you are describing is exactly what we had at DAL - I should know, I was the plug in LAX back then. The bucket system seems to me to be a very compromise between spreading the work and honoring seniority.

The way we had it a couple years ago (no 80 RAW score) was not fair to the senior folks. I think it's ok right now. Maybe decrease the RAW score a little. I definitely don't want us to go to seniority only, and I'm a senior reserve! I think the current system is a good balance.
