And that'd work as well as the time stamp did for trip pickups.. at exactly 28 hours prior, 10 reserves would all frantically try to pick up the trip. Whoever had the fastest internet connection would win. Then, some guys paid 10 bucks a month for a computer program (the beginnings of crew companion) that would start hitting the pickup button 10 times a second to out snipe the other reserves. As a reserve, I couldn't pick up a trip because my lousy internet wasn't as fast as some other reserve with a fiber optic connection using a 3rd party program to hit the enter key 10 times per second. Hardly equitable. Seniority is a fair and impartial way.. everyone gains it over time. Long ago, as a new hire, I didn't whine about the number of commuters to Anchorage. I sucked it up and commuted the day prior so that I wouldn't be out of position. If you're Junior and commuting, don't whine about your "needs".. it's not my problem. Take responsibility for your life and quit crying.
