Why say this? He’s right. It sucks that the normal paradigm has changed unexpectedly. It sucks to lose money that was typically there under fair conditions.
Saying that a trip went to someone two decades junior to him isn’t blaming the junior person as the cause; it is lamenting the fact that patiently-earned seniority no longer carries weight.
All of that is valid.

Again, how about some intellectual honesty here. To those of you complaining about someone junior getting an IA, you need to take a look around you at the pilots causing this. The more senior pilots are the ones that are farming M7, causing the trip coverage ladder to clog, and causing the company to go to IA. The mid tier pilots are the ones being most harmed. But if you’re upset with the junior pilots getting the IA, your anger or frustration is misplaced. Are the M7 farmers acting within their contractural rights? Sure. Are they acting in good faith? I’d say no.

Totally different from calling CS or having side chats with them on Microsoft Teams or whatever.
just me yelling from the bleachers; none of this is relevant to me as a junior well staffed category reserve bidder.

Hating the game, not the player. That’s an important distinction and it’s clear that hockeypilot’s grievances are being misrepresented as hating the player.
(Side-dealers, of any seniority….we can hate those players.)

Well, he might not be wrong on that, those trips very well could have been his. Wanting seniority to be honored isn't entitlement and his overall point is still valid, the game is jacked. I have a similar feeling about all those short notice trips that I've built my strategy on and have effectively executed for the last few years. I stayed senior on a junior fleet to take advantage this type of flying. Now I watch as they get sent IA that I can't ever seem to get. If it's not awarded to someone junior, I'm getting the call 5-10 minutes AFTER if was already awarded to someone senior.

Doubt it. It's not that frustrating when the system is functioning properly.
