I think you just described being junior in any catagory. And every nb/domestic catagory is short right now going into the summer. I've been here 16 years and im at the mercy of PBS every month on ATL 7ERB. If PBS gives me a trip on the weekend, I'm stuck working the weekend. Might as well bid an airplane with trips that are generally better/more commutable and a flight deck that has some room in it.

Just my opinion.
