Of course, we could write the language however we wish, but it would be seriously crappy to have senior guys bumping out junior captains just because they finally decided to upgrade. They can bid on new positions only. There has to be some benefit to biting the bullet and taking first upgrade.

We will see.
I have no idea what they will want but we don't have it now so they will have to "negoitate" for it. (Good for us)
I was mainly giving that marine ground pounder a hard time since he is senior to me and that was my plan as well.

They will have a hard time getting something that isn't industry standard language, I would think. Plus, the company wants system bids to drive less training, not more, so they will likely want the same thing.
It's this little stuff that adds up to big QOL impacts. I just hope people look to more than just the pay rate when we get a TA hammered out for a vote.

I think the moral of the story is 320 trips > 190 trips unless you'd prefer 4 legs over backside of the clock.
