Edit: But back in serious critique mode now: Good brainstorming, but it fails in that you're taking out a bunch of the good trips a non-LCA trip awardee would have gotten because instead they're going to the FO who bid for the LCA trip, who opted to have his LCA trip paid and taken off his schedule (and then went for the extra money by taking them up on the option of adding another trip). Now I'm flying good weekend trips, and FO who was going to have to fly the weekend, but had a good trip is forced to fly the bad weekend end trip. And the FO who was happy to commute to the bad weekend trip is now commuting to reserve.
