If I only bid for the first 2 or 3 in the first round and then end up being number 12 in the relief round, I’m going to be ****ed off and it’ll be because of the people who refuse to get it right. Yes, sometimes people forget to bid and they’ll get a relief line. Other people just refuse to bid for relief lines in order. It’s usually the same people over and over and over. They either don’t care that it screws other pilots or they are too stupid to see how it screws other pilots.

It’s more about common courtesy than it is about seniority.
If after decades of years people who don't understand this concept probably shouldn't be allowed to bid and just get the leftovers, after the relief lines have been awarded.

You folks are missing the point. Bid seniority allow you to bid for whatever line you want in whatever order you want.
What you are suggesting doesn't respect seniority. It would require everyone to bid relief lines in a certain order in round 1 just because it makes someone juniors' bidding strategy more effective/less risky.
