Not to mention I feel it is kind of a dick move to take a day trip line as a commuter given that it is a golden line for someone living in base. Anyway, to each their own I guess.
There’s no such thing as a dick move for picking a line which your seniority holds. I like 4 day trips that start late and end before 1700 and I live in base. I have had someone say something about my choice before but I’m not going to wake up at 0400 for a 0630 start when my seniority can hold differently. Welcome to seniority bidding. We all know the game, don’t get upset over it. I’ve suffered the crap lines when I was junior, guess what so can you. But you are absolutely right about that line choice for a commuter though, it is going to suck and I am willing to bet they just looked at number of days off.
