May be a real good deal for junior LCA to bid reserve then get all their trips assigned for IOE as the month progresses(which could technically violate seniority among other reserve pilots).
What Sailing said, plus OE trips are coded all over the place, as are the pilots receiving them. It will be very easy to track by DALPA. Not to mention 13,500 pilots scouring open time all the time and wondering where trips went.
This is certainly a nominal concession from current book, but it appears its a minor one and WAY better than the original 2015 language.
