Yes, I have. They usually staff weekdays with 1 max 2 FOs starting per day, that's why weekday reserve goes senior. They don't expect too much need for reserves because all the open time after ELITT opens ends up over the weekends (majority wants to have weekends off). Open time is basically only from sick calls. If nobody bids streight, it goes automatically to reserve. That's how it works. If they don't have any available, it goes to most senior premium bidder. What doesn't help the premium bidders is that many newhires (and not only) bid streight. That's what happens when you're overstaffed.
