While doing that, we allow the company to subvert the seniority system passively approving of such behavior for future reference. Oh and by the way, some are locked so if they get sent back to reserve, they can't even bid out of category.
Too many unknowns for a trial, a TA, or a permanent move. Kill it.
It should not actually have that effect because as you pull time from a category for a VB you also must remove a equivalent number of pilots. The kicker will be if they are junior or senior to a specific pilot. If you have a bunch of senior pilots living in MCO who bid a MCO VB the pilots still in Atlanta would move up in relative seniority. If all junior people bid it they move down. In the end it should average out.
