I flew with the number 1 FO in a base and he was complaining about PBS because he didn't get what he wanted. He didn't bid for the proper estimated credit range, so instead of giving him another high paying local it gave him some crappy pairings. It's too easy to screw up your bid and get a crap sandwich instead of what you should have held. I've had several months of good lines. I've been the super junior guy that got Christmas off because people above me got screwed. The awards just aren't consistent and it puts company need above pilot seniority.
