You also have 24 hours after bids are awarded to contact crew scheduling and change the selection.
I guess you should put this one down to learning experience.

Reverse that the next day and it turns out to be lots of driving and running around.
Not to say they are not good, but they certainly are for the right people only. Lastly, harder to pick up OT as they credit like 88 hours or something.

The 6 lines I mentioned in FO side went to FO seniority 1-6.

Not to mention I feel it is kind of a dick move to take a day trip line as a commuter given that it is a golden line for someone living in base. Anyway, to each their own I guess.

We all know the game, don’t get upset over it. I’ve suffered the crap lines when I was junior, guess what so can you. But you are absolutely right about that line choice for a commuter though, it is going to suck and I am willing to bet they just looked at number of days off.
Lastly, I said to each their own, agreeing that this is the system we work in. I AM however allowed to have an opinion, and that opinion is this was a dick move.
