Not likely to happen.

Senior bidders bid holidays off because they want holidays off. How difficult is that to get?

So you believe a senior in category is going to bid to work a holiday at 1.5 so a jr bidder can not work?

And conveniently now be on off days to fly at 2x?

Thats hilarious.

Say again....advocate for holiday pay if you want. Just lose the nonsense rationalization and expectation of bidding behavior changes.

Want it for the only logical reason. If you are working a holiday it shud be for more pay.
Bidding behavior may or not change but a whole lot more people fly for straight pay over the holidays than the relative few that get a GS. To me, it’s as simple as holiday pay at 1.5 benefits a lot more of the pilot group than a few green slips. It’s a no brainer.
