It's theoretical of course, but it sounds like a possible loss for nearly everyone but the very top guys.
I'm not saying its bad and I'm not saying its great, as I only have one personal data point to reference my opinion. My only point was that you said "most of us". Are you referencing the whole seniority lsit, those on this board, just junior guys? Its really all relative within the groupl you are bidding against each month. The most senior in that group theoretically wil do better than the most junior group. If that month has mostly junior guys, or mostly senior guys....well you get the idea. Is your point that only a couple guys each month get a good deal and everyone else gets crap? Too many variables - how you bid, where you live (commuter?), what your line is, etc. Too early to tell for me.
I was able to get the training slot I wanted back in April, my first choice, and I'll get my next shot next month (I got reset in June when I went out on medical and missed my sim in Apr and May). I am hardly one of the very top guys (> 90% last spring, and barely < 90% now)! I'll let you know how it turns out!
