I am senior enough to bid and hold the flying seat, my point is I do not want to give it up for 500 bucks. So I opt out and have a bad thing happen in my life and go NQ for landings, under this new piece of crap because I opted out to have someone who is too junior to hold the flying seat or is a senior, career bunkie type, not take my spot and force me into a seat I didn’t bid for then I can go up to 60 days NQ. That means NO PAY and that should never have made it off the table.
