I laugh at how this all works (not really) because a guy in my class, who is younger, got the 900, then bid to 200 ATL and is going to differences in Oct, while I'll be LGA until Feb with my 900 differences. oops
I get it, and this multi class bid makes things that much harder.. In my new hire days it was one class per bid and they came out every 3-4 weeks so that it was more predictable and less confusing, but the union and company agreed that today's formula is better. As for how a younger (therefor junior) got what you want tells me you didn't bid correctly. Again it is a matter of what you want not what you can hold... Unless you forced yourself into a seat lock, as the senior pilot you should go to the higher paying position first or be pay protected.
