Its a bid. You say you would rather take a zero time line, or you say you would rather get furloughed.

What you’re saying is akin to bidding for reserve while you’re senior enough to hold a line. Then complaining that someone junior to you got a line while you got shafted with reserve. It gets kind of weird that it stretches system wide and not just in base, but that’s just the nature of dealing with something that impacts the whole list.
