I'm in favor of keeping seniority within BES when covering trips. That is the point of a B. Exercise of seniority for BES choces is avialable monthly via the AE process. If a pilot can't hold a BES, should they be flying there? If a pilot can hold BES and choses not to, should they be flying there? Instead of NYC 330B flying OOBWS, maybe they could bid in base for what their seniority can hold?

Please draw me a picture using PWA trip coverage sequence where OOBWS does not cover a trip at single pay instead of 2x pay. My comprehension of PWA trip coverage is that the next step after single pay OOBWS was GS. Did I miss something in trip coverage or are we on different topics?

WRT staffing, OOBWS ensures we can keep staffing lower in ATL because NYC pilots will pick up the trips. It actually works against us by artificially inflating the staffing requriements for NYC while lowering the staffing required in ATL.
