NO NO NO. If you allow guys to come in and pick up trips in seniority order, you might as well just have one big category system wide and bid on any trip any base.... if one is a junior lineholder he will get screwed. period. Nevermind what will happen to reserves... you aren't thinking this through. There is a HUGE risk of unintended consequence here that you do not see but is all too obvious to me. Camel... nose... tent... It's just like international pilots being allowed to fly domestic trips "as long as they are published in the bid package" See where that little gem got us didn't you? It is a totally stupid idea. (sorry Satch)
