No. The system is designed to cover all the flying regardless of seniority. Our minimum credit that the system tries to build to each month is set way too high IMO. "Coverage" pairings should be dumped into open time and not forced onto someone's schedule thereby removing what they were originally awarded!!
For example, my seniority can hold 2 and 3 day trips which is what I bid and was awarded... But.... Because of coverage needs it added a 2 day on the end of one of my 3 days and another 2 day on the end of a 4 day. It also added a stand up (split duty) at the end of a 2 day back to back.....
Had it not been for all the CN added pairings my bid award would have been just what I wanted.
