As far as TTS what’s on this person’s ballot..? You either have a trip they want or you don’t. Ballot their trip and if you get it (or not) you’ll find out I guess. I just don’t see the need is all.
If I see a trip in OT that I would take for MU that I’m sure someone senior wants for premium, I make a premium ballot and a straight time ballot. If they knew I had a straight time ballot they’d probably take their premium out. Don’t hate the player.. or something like that.
Before we argue PM vs MU, that’s a contractual battle, not with your fellow pilot.
Seniority in turn means a senior pilot will get it during a batch run ONLY if his ballot position is equal or higher than yours. So if that senior pilot has a ballot for the same trip you want but he has it as #2 ballot, and you have it as #1 - you'll get it. Obviously if you both have it as your #1 ballot - he gets it due to seniority.
I agree with the rest of your post.
