Our old system was reverse seniority. So junior to senior.
This is much better now, IMO…now it’s seniority based, once you accept a premium trip you drop on the list to a new position based on how many hours you got that trip,
Based on calendar year.
So Jan 1, most senior guy in base gets the first call, if he takes it, say 25 hour trip, he then goes to the bottom of the list. Later that day another trip comes up, so now the #2 guy is the first to get the call. Say it’s a 20 hour trip and he takes it, he then drops to the second from the bottom of the list, ahead of the senior guy at 25 hours but behind the most junior guy with 0 hours
I like this way because it respects seniority while giving everyone a crack. There is strategy you can use with this method as well
