I bid 70% in one of our most junior bases so I'm not sure I believe that you're holding 15 days off with 85 credit as a 2 year FO. This month I was awarded 99 with 10 days off.
I'm with rcfd, 2 years at SkyWest is not senior at all. 6 years full as FO now will not be top 30% in all of our bases. MSP is about the only RJ base that late 07 new hires and early 08 are senior FOs in base.

The definition of "holding" is what your seniority can hold. Swapping stuff on sked- has nothing to do with seniority.
I agree, being savvy with PBS and swapping/dropping will enable you to sweeten the schedule quite nicely.
