There are things that work better under seniority rules (non-rev travel, vacation, vacancies, PBS) and things that work better with first come first served (trading with open time).

Yeah, I agree with everthing you've said on this thread. I do believe the APA or ED or someone asked the company to get rid LS. I had no idea about the PU, going to listen now. Bottom line the APA is a company union and that's the problem.
