No offense taken.

I know of at least one senior pilot who (apparently) dropped his whole schedule, and picked over 10 days of SS in one PCS run.

Dropping your Schedule: fully support
Getting First pick of SS: fully support
Getting all the picks: Foul, straight to jail!

Sorry, you will never convince me that “seniority” is meant to get all the picks. Vacation doesn’t work like that. No other premium works like that.

There are many possible solutions. I don’t mind SS existing (some do). I like having a SS counter, just like every other premium. (GS, OOBGS, QS, IA), but folks are free to disagree. But let me ask you this, why should SS be different?

At a BARE minimum, SS should be limited to one per PCS run. Thats at least a LITTLE fair.

Though, I had to wonder if the impending section 23 changes will relegate SS to the rarity that GS used to have 10+ years ago.
