I still don't understand why seniority is so important that we take reserve back to a straight seniority based system like white slip awards yet leave green slip awards in a spread the wealth system.
How important is seniority?
And this is coming from someone who is benefiting from the new system. Although, not as much as those with 12-14 years of seniority bidding T-Tail land MD88 B reserve. They win.

Oh well... super cool captain and easy trip. Here I sit for 31 hours posting pictures of FAs and telling Internet Brands to post more ads for companies I plug.

Did you know about the ad before it was posted? Were you instructed to plug it?
very peculiar timing for one or more mods to bring up the topic, unsolicited, on this thread.

We need to get our duty rigs (work day) and trip rigs (TAFB) up so if we have long sits during a day or long layovers (30 hour plus) then we get paid appropriately to force the company to use us efficiently or pay us for the time we're at work (I define at work as Sign in (1 hour before 1st push) to sign out (1/2 hour after landing). If they want us to sit around during a day or during a trip we need to be compensated for that (also other paid work QCQ, sims, vacation). Min pay/day (whether you fly or not) is 5:15 (5:30/5:45 would be better), QCQ is one minute of pay for each minute of running time, vacation needs be the same as pay/day and should be pay and credit - that way if you run into a good deal during the part of the month you work you'll have enough hours to get GS pay or if you WS you can put something away.
As Sailing would say.......wait for it......"we can't even ask for better duty and trip rigs.... We aren't Southwest!!!!"
