Seniority rules in almost every other facet of our contract, but leaving DOT first come/first serve seems fine by me. I think a more appropriate change would be to our 'junior assignment' language in section 25. It should be retitled 'premium pay' and the draft order should be from senior to junior. We don't have involuntary junior manning, so offering 200% to the most junior pilot seems backwards.
