Are you related to Hillary?
We aren't smart enough to make decisions for ourselves? If you don't want to bid carry over, don't. Usually goes pretty senior anyway. I am not condoning carry over, or draft, or volunteer. I am just saying that there are a lot of guys who have been on the property a whole lot longer than you and me and they have become accustomed to being able to fly extra when they need it. Again, not condoning it. And the amazing thing about it is that the guys that have a real beef with it usually use the old excuse that those folks are keeping you from upgrading. Problem is that it is usually the 15 year F/O who says it. With 4 year Captains, that argument is pretty lame.
