2) The 4 day that was available left me at only 10 days off. If they took the last 4 legs (last leg of day 3 plus the 3 legs on day 4), again I would have qualified.
There is no reason PBS can't have an algorithm built to recognize this staus as you get to the bottom of the list so the senior person doesn't get hosed over while a junior person gets a line.
As far as I am concerned, if the company says there are 55 lines available, the first 55 people senority wise should get them unless they decide otherwise (which will never happen under our current reserve rules). Now for that matter, do we really need 15 reserves for 50 lines like next month in IAD?
One day, you will no longer be on the cusp of a line - and some of these changes you propose would come back to f* you.
Strictly speaking of ASA side, there is now a lot of guys who never had experience with line bidding. For the most part, your bidding fixes come across as naive and without foresight. (not just Jax)
Doesn't PBS produce ~10-15% more lines than before? This comes at the expense of line holders and their ability to swap with open time.
If you want to talk about scheduling section mods: Reserve Rules. I've not had to sit reserve under c2007, but I definitely feel for those that have.
