You could back door seniority me all you want!
I mean would I do it? I wouldn't bid it to do it if it was an option, but if I already were NYC 73N B living in north Atlanta, how could I not do it for my own sake? Now eventually people would copy cat and then it'd get harder to do it but how long would that be and how many pilots in more senior bases be screwed out of moving up?
I mean ATL-NYC is one example, I guess another could be a pilot living in SEA that can only hold MSP doing the same thing.

Meanwhile ATL pilots senior to me would be on reserve while I fly 70, 80, 90 or so hours.

I agree we need to fix trip parking before we allow oob pilot-pilot swaps.

I'm not a trip parker, and I'm not a statistician, but all I can tell tell from this survey is that 66 anonymous web board posters (who may or may not be Delta pilots) are opposed to trip parking.
