Talk to BC (east) who was on the j/s committee at the time, I can't remember the name of the West rep.
When LUS and LAA come together to discuss the j/s issue, it was suggested to adapt the LUS j/s reservation system as a method that's fair to all pilots. All LAA were initially on board until TW had his hissy fit ("APA bylaws state that everything should be done by seniority"). There was so much arguing (AND resistance by TW) without any result that the company stepped in and stated to keep the LUS j/s but WITHOUT the j/s weight protection.
This is what happened, I got it from two independent sources (E and W) that were there. If you wanna drink Slice's coolaid and keep worshiping an individual that mainly looks out for himself, go ahead.
BTW It *really* breaks my heart reading about someone's problem having to commute between two homes. Who's got spare tissues...?
