I think your missing my point. DOT it is first come first serve which I think is fair. If several people try to trade at the same time then it goes the the most senior. If the days are in the RED then essentially I am being blocked and can't trade anything. I should have every chance just as the next person to pick up trips or trade. Every time I have a group of days in the RED, they go Green, but only after the trips I tried for are gone. I just don't think that is fair.
By the way when I was the plug, everything was RED any way so it made no difference of my seniority. I flew what was given to me and had no chance to make my schedule better. Glad that the "mostly RED Days" are gone for the new plug.
