So, to break it down. Pilot A gets a good deal because he has decided to stay senior in category. Pilot B, although at some point, or even possibly now could bid a category to give him the same option, would rather take away the pilot A's (and every pilots) potential option and redistribute that among the other pilots.

Where do we stop with this line of thinking? Those senior 777 guys who get weekends, holidays, and get to fly to places other than MLU? Do we start breaking up that club as well and giving that time off to the rest of the pilot group?

This almost sounds like that debate where a pilot wanted to increase the reserves required on the weekends where pilots wouldn't be able to drop trips and less green slips would go out (therefore giving a reserve less chance of flying on the weekend). Really?

For what it is worth, I am neither neither senior in category or an FO, but I would be against taking away the current recovery rules for them.
