While I tend to agree with the broad point you are making, if a guy, senior or junior, is GSing all month, then that means the category is undermanned and any pilot in the category can do the same.
Touching trips ain't coming back and contrary to urban legend we never had pure touching trips, where a guy could endlessly touch the highest time trips in the bid package and always get full pay for them, for every vacation period he had.
