Waving the BS flag on that ... The senior guy should be able to bid to avoid the crappy DR double red eye trips over the new guy. This happened last week too.
Rant over
Made that call many times during my time on reserve..."oh, that's a different bucket"...funny the word "bucket" doesn't come up once in the FSM..... Was told once on the phone: "your on reserve, your seniority means nothing" from a scheduler
