Even if we don't want to identify the pilot, a simple flag would be nice to notify you if someone senior to you has a trip in their ballot.
Yes, Pilot A wants a trip but isn't particularly senior. She is friends with Pilot B who is quite senior. Pilot B puts in a ballot for the trip to try to scare others off then removes it right before the run.
There are some benefits to an open system but it also provides some avenues for games. In the main secret ballots have at least a slight edge in pros vs cons.
