This is a union job, everything is in seniority order. Those who want to work more submit a PCS request to pick up open time. Those who don't want to work more don't submit a PCS request. It is no different than the initial monthly bid runs, trips are awarded in seniority order.

In your entire Delta career, how many times has your category not had open time available via PCS? Even with half of the company on reserve, I have found open time in 14 of the categories on my AE bid preferences. Pretending like there won't be open time for pilots who want to work more is comical.
