After the first guy gets everything he wants it is on to the next.
So with this system you need to be super senior to get anything good.
Imho after we fix distribution and allocation we should bid in rounds.
First round pick 2 weeks.
Next guy picks 2
And all the way down the list.
Round 2 pick 2 weeks
Start at the top and go down.
The current system where the top guy can take everything is total BS.
(And yes I would think that if I was the top guy.)

I can't imagine it won't be changed to some kind of round bidding.

We swap with the other crew because they would timeout. Pax on the plane bam LGA ground stop. Sit for an hour and everyone's phone goes off flight cx.......cool
Now we are sent to do a Tampa overnight DH back the next day.
Ended up being 10 extra hours at 190%
I was shocked how fast they were moving us around.
