Then I guess everything has changed since I was on reserve.

I saw how many days I had left available, saw how many senior to me had that number and how many junior had that number. If a trip came in that matched my RAP, I would make sure the junior guy got it with the same RAP. 2 occasions they called me and tried to tag me with a trip that should have gone to the junior pilot, I told them, they apologized and I went back on my reserve and they contacted that pilot.

Not liking our reserve assignment methodology, I can see why junior reserve pilots would hate it.

Not knowing the assignment methodology? It’s in the contract. Know it and hold them accountable to it. If they violate it, it’s an NCC.
