Zero seniority and already wanting to do nothing

You could expect min 11 off and even slightly senior guys on reserve who bid to be "called last" get crapped on. On reserve you will be eating the big sh*t sandwich...There already are plenty of "in base" pilots that want the same as you.
However at MAG getting off RSV and accruing seniority has gone very well those that have joined recently.
