There's nothing good about any of these position notices, most people in both seats are losing seniority and as usual, the top 40% is a revolving door. Pilots from ATL bid DTW in search of a better line (or getting off reserve) without any research only to realize how much the commute from ATL-DTW sucks and then bid back to ATL 6 months later. Those of us who are a bit more permanent are sick of it. Yeah, I know, that's how seniority works. It's their prerogative.
While I'm on a rant, F%@ those ultra-senior FOs (0-900 on the master seniority list) who all of a sudden decide they want to play captain after 12-20 years. Should be a statute of limitations on the upgrade.

P.S. F&@$ this place (ASA)
Hold on a second, had you upgraded earlier thanks to those ultra senior FOs staying in the right seat you would sing a different tune. Now all of a sudden because you are bitter and disgruntled they should be locked in the right seat so they can deal with you moaning about being on reserve as their CA even though they are senior to you? Cry me a river....
