Beauty of this profession is everyone has a choice (except for new hires <year on property)... issue comes up when pilots bid equipment that makes them junior (NB Captain or WB FO on RSV) and then they complain because they don't like the RSV rules. I'm a WB RSV pilot and flew about 70 days last year... I don't have any complaints. I have tons of buds on WB RSV at EWR/IAD/ORD that are working about the same... no complaints from them either. Still a lot of movement happening... so bid what you want and live with the rules that are currently in place... not the rules you hope will be created to benefit RSV... it probably won't happen.
