I'd like to see something a little different. I don't like that Seniority has no effect on who gets called or not. Right now it's the low credit guy that gets the call....which is fair....but this is not a "fair" system given that Seniority is king. I'd like a 10 hour buffer rule which would be this:
If two or more pilots are up for a call out.....and All pilots involved have selected "Don't Schedule Me", I think the call should go to the more Junior pilot. With the exception if the Senior pilot has 10 (maybe 20?) less credit than the next Junior guy in line at the time of the call out.....the Senior guy should get it. That way the Junior guy still is used more ....and the Senior guy doesn't get to not fly for a month.
Right now the "Don't Schedule Me" option has little or no effect if they call you or not. They still call the low time guy with very little exception from what I have seen.
