Some think it's a douche move but, like it or not, the PWA permits it. Like Fangs said, it's a way to circumvent one's lack of seniority. Putting OOBWS after in-base Green Slips is the best way forward, but I don't see the company being amenable to this.

As someone who likes to bid reserve, I wouldn't want GS to go before OOBWS. Because that would mean they BOTH come after in base reserves, which doesn't make sense.
