Most SS have been in open time for days and days. They are horrible trips no one wanted or would swap into. I wouldn’t fly most of them for triple pay.
Accordingly, in many categories, it’s not rare to see SS go to 50% or even lower.
Sorry, 90%-in-category guys hired in 2022+, we’re not upending the system because you chose to be a super-junior captain and will be for years.

There should be no counter at all. Seniority for the win.

Or better yet, get rid of them entirely. Fixing the coverage ladder will probably make this all a moot point.

It’s not (just) Junior. I’m top third, maxed out on the pay scale, and I think SS should be leveled. Somehow. If not a counter (combined or solo), at least limit them to one SS per PCS run.

Agreed, they will be leveled, but once the ladder is fixed, it will be a moot point. Leveling the SS does not abrogate seniority in any way; the senior folks still get first right at every SS. Just like Days off, GS, QS, and vacation.

How is it a deflection when everyone here chose the position they are in, and more importantly what seniority they were willing to accept in said position. Choices... deal with them. If you want that A chair or sack time in a bunk then there are concequences.
