It's not all about bidding trips off. Now the senior FOs will bid more productive trips that would have gone to less 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.
This is standard at other carriers as well. Between 50% and 75% of trips can be withheld for training. Shortsighted, hardly.
