While we're clearly never going back due to emotions and hypothetical hyperbole (woe as me, I got a 5 day because I was 1 RAW under the junior pilot! Waaaaaaa!) the old RAW only system with a 15 point Yellow boost was WAY more transparent than staggered overlapping buckets that may not even apply anyway because of many other factors for you and the other pilot in question.

How often are junior (bottom 5%) 765 reserves being used? Are they expecting a call every reserve stretch? Seems like there would be a lot fewer call outs on those trips, and fewer uncovered segments in general…

Ok. Splitting hairs here, but if I’m only on reserve until 2359, how can I get assigned a trip that releases later?
Rhetorical question, just ranting…

It probably was, but at least you will know.

I was never assigned. I was watching and hoping a trip didn’t fall on me being top in my bucket. They went to the guy in the bucket with the additional day bucket.
FWIW my next day was a golden day which I hadn’t realized at first. Not sure if that affected it.
