OK. Here's another one:

So, if you are senior, let's say the #1 pilot on a piece of equipment, you can bid a reserve line, right? I guess I asking if reserve and blockholder pilots in the same base have the samd bidding power?

Ok, it's confusing. Let me try another way.

I'm #1 on the 777, but I bid reserve. A trip comes up in open time and I bid it and a full blockholder wants it as well, but of course, he's junior to me. Who gets it?
There is a long order of trip coverage. If this is a simple straight pickup for the blockholder he gets the trip. If it were a greenslip or overtime trip the senior pilot would get the trip. In general however when a senior pilot bids reserve its knowing he wont work. They rarely ask for trips. The exception would be rolling thunder and then he would be asking for overtime trips.
