Deflection from what? I was providing an example of how seniority isn’t always linear, nor is it always limited to providing “first dibs” only. Those were Meme’s suggestions.

Gucci trips don’t exist in every category. However, there are some categories in which certain trips are always gone within the first page or two of PBS wide reports, with plenty of junior pilots underneath desiring the same trips. In that case, senior pilots are “taking the whole pie”, which Meme suggested is wrong.

If the argument truly is limited to M7 farming and nothing more, then that value will be extracted and moved to other areas of the next contract anyway. Fundamental change to seniority handling isn’t an essential part of that.
