I think even at a 1.5x via PBS it would all go senior.
For a senior pilot who was thinking of doing a GS over christmas, this would be very enticing in that they could bid for a good trip in advance for 1.5x pay. Further increasing their QOL by giving them a known quantity 6 weeks out.
I mean bid a 48 hour overnight in germany and get 1.5x pay. Plan in advance to bring the family.
Or 30 hours in CUN, or 30 hours in Dayton because you hate life. Whatever floats your boat.
As a senior pilot I would love that option. Besides a known always beats the unknown gamble to me.
And I say all of that as a senior pilot who bids christmas vacations and have no interest in this and would not benefit in any way. I think a lot of guys would like it.
