I get it, I play the game sometimes as well but I don’t think we need to change the pwa so that everyone “can” play the drop everything and pick up scraps game. Honestly I’m pretty happy just flying my trips as a mid-seniority line holder most of the time. Pilots get such bad fomo when we hear war stories about super senior professional game players. If I were king for a day I’d spend our negotiating capital making flying a normal awarded schedule as good as possible for as much money as possible.

There will always be PCS ninjas out there ninja-ing. I’d guess most pilots just want an easy button.
