I would love for there to be a step after GS but before IA that ignores any trigger or golden x day but also honors seniority, and with a leveling mechanism. I've lost GS that I could and want to fly to an incredibly junior IA but was too junior to get any M7 pay.
As a QOL bidder myself, I understand that I lose out on some premium opportunities, it is what it is. I'm all for change and I certainly get the desire to get rid of a trigger. For now, I'd rather seem just follow the contract we currently have.

Since I've been here, there has never been an instance of an actual IA assignment that you're describing.
Pretty short sighted. We haven't actually furloughed anyone since I've been been here, it probably won't happen again. [/s]
