Why? Because since about Fall 2011 something broke. The same cast of guys always wins. I will lose more than most if we go to that system. Alas--I think it is the best overall solution. BOTS, inside info, or other malfeasance may be in play, but I can show you on my calendar when (something) happened. You cannot always win every quickdraw contest. KB's open time chimes do not explain month after month of similar success. So lets go back to what we know is legit, even if it stings some (like me). I prefer being screwed by my senioroty than screwed by any co-workers.
Not sure we need to go that far Albie! Worked under the delta-ish rules close to 9 years. Our rules here allow for junior guys to turn our turd's into something liveable for us and our families AFTER seniority has run its course in the first round of bidding awards.
Lets not cut our nose off to spite our face.
There is something FISHY going on with the charters and the company knows it! Word is they are watching but waitn on all the evidence before they can legally proceed.
