It is a different bidding system. I’ll let others expand on it that have more details and experience, but it allows you to bid for individual sequences instead of an entire line. It boils down to it is still seniority based. Your odds of getting an OVERALL better schedule is still dependent on YOUR seniority and quality of the sequences. All the senior pilots will still pick all the best sequences and days off and the junior pilots will still be left with the low value, weekend sequences. It MAY allow you to get a specific day off that you want, but still only if not everyone senior to you wants it.

The devil is in the details of the constraints that are built into things like minimum days off, trip values, etc. Whether or not you can DTS in conjunction with vacation and how conflicts work. But like I said earlier, there are limited things that can be done with the flight file that AAG gives to ENY. Garbage in still equals garbage out.
