So did you disagree that it's super senority or do you agree? Your post was rather confusing.
What you confirm is the trip trading system we have benefits the super senior pilot, who, BTW, also benefits from the PBS bidding system.
Your post was really confusing about what you disagree with, but maybe you just like to disagree?
My post was more frivolous than anything and more designed to point out the inconsistency in our senority system.
Oh well bid what you like and like what you bid. UAL's in another "capacity constrained" management mode again.
I think what gettingbumped is saying is that it is in fact seniority based. This "super seniority" term sounds like cable news BS rhetoric. If the system is built to favor those who are senior, then it is seniority based. Virtually every part of our QOL, from pay to vacation, etc. favors senior people, why does this all of the sudden seem like "super seniority" to some?
Although convoluted and perhaps not perfectly executed, it creates a much larger inventory for trip trading and easily three times as many trades as a simple A for B system would.
There are merits on either side, but I think the potential upsides are for the pilots, not the company. Am I missing something
