I agree 100%. Meaning those DC9, M88, A320, and B737 pilots who are very senior in category will get a payraise, but watch their quality of life go down the toilet, as pilot's senior to them down bid. So THEY won't be happy, because if they'd WANTED the money rather than the quality of life, they would have bid bigger equipment in the first place.
And those guys junior on big airplanes will take a pay cut, because they are "out of seniority" compared with a pure longevity system, meaning THEY won't be happy, because they WERE chasing the money.
And those guys junior on small airplanes, who were, oh so close, to FINALLY holding a regular line on the -9 or -88, will watch those dreams vaporize, as so many senior guys currently on reserve on the bigger airplanes will down bid to get off reserve, meaning these guys will be on reserve for YEARS longer, meaning THEY won't be happy, because they WERE hoping to get off reserve by staying on a small airplane.
So, just who is gonna like this new system???
