Yes it would, but no. It would force more senior FOs to upgrade though. What you need is to be available on the days statistically known for GS, Friday through Monday and the last few or first few days of the bid period. The less credit the better. I typically have 60-70 hours and take 5 out of the bank, then pick up a day to get to the trigger if needed. 12 days of flying gives you 18 days available to pick up. All of that requires the seniority to hold those days off. Besides I don't want to learn a new system. Keeping track of ARCOS is tough enough.
