.......... I only reply in line with the above to highlight the reserve pref system. If you are senior and first out you will be called first unless the trip is 3 days long and youve only got two left. If at any time you are the senior person at the base and scheduling incorrectly assigns a trip to someone junior to you, similiarly situated, you should immediately fill out an issue form with the grievance committee. Scheduling has, for various reasons, screwed this up on a daily basis at times.

If you are middle of the pack that day, or even more junior, no, they won't call you first because senior pilots get first stab. If everyone above you lists "last out" then obviously you should expect a call.

Anyway, on with the bon fire.
