The company would leap all over this change if we offered it.
You're only half way there. Agree that CS doesn't get to move trips around and determine who gets premium trips and who doesn't. But they also have to stop covering trips with OOB reserves. This helps ALL pilots. OOB Reserves won't get stuck flying OOB trips, in base line holders get more chances for premium trips, what's not to like?

This is some varsity level avoiding. I haven't checked, but I'd assume if you can't avoid a captain in CQ the same way you can bidding your monthly schedule then it cannot be done short of a phone call to your training department.
Be nice if we could avoid certain DGS instructors as well.
