FWIW, a single AXXX rotation has not survived a single PSC run all month and they have all been PW awards by pretty senior B's

Does anyone know why it takes so long to post the B schedules? The As are posted fairly quickly... then we wait for days for B. The only difference I can see between them for speed of computer run is the "avoid employee # xxxxxx", which is just one more line of avoid code for the computer to zip through, along with all the other avoids it's already doing.
So... why is it always days later for the Bs?

I was told that ALPA negotiated it that way as a subtle f you to the junior guys.
But seriously, I'm not seeing anything out yet. No A's or B's. They must be realizing that they don't have enough pilots to cover the summer schedule. Should have hired a few months ago.

If anything, it seems like most of the complaints that I have heard over the past couple of years is that the reserve system favors the senior guys too much as it is. Any feedback I have heard from *most* guys on reserve is that they would like to see the buckets reduced (example: bucket one only goes to RAW 0-60 instead of the current 0-80).
This resolution attempted the opposite. It wanted to give even more to the senior guys, and hose the junior guys even more.
Not to worry. I can promise you that the company is never going to go to a pure seniority/no-bucket system absent a huge giveback on our part elsewhere. I for one don't see that happening.

So, of course now im flying 2/3 days on call this round as well. I'll finally break into bucket 2 with this coming trip.

The current 80 threshold for bucket 1 is ridiculous. I had 3 days carryout from a 4 day trip, flew 2/3 days last week, had recurrent the last 2 days, and am still in bucket 1 and first up for flying.
