It's not all about bidding trips off. Not the senior FOs will bid more productive trips that would have gone to lower senior FOs, or they're upgrade and deny other guys an upgrade who may have wanted it earlier.
This group can be so F-ing short sighted sometimes.
Totally agree.
Now suppose I'm an FO that wants to bid overnights in my hometown bluecity, but the check airmen bid those, so they were removed from the FO bid! No overnights at home for me.
Or I want to bid Europe trips, but the check airmen like those so they were removed from the bid!
But as you said, other airlines let their FOs bid check airmen trips, it's just the cost of doing business.
This is BS.
