Because reserve call out is based on seniority of the days available. Senior guys get to sit back while junior reserve guys stuck on reserve keep getting sent back out. I’ve bid reserve some months and junior CAs with the same RAP and days avail we’re blocking close to guarantee while I did 2 months of zero hours flown. As long as I have 4 days avail and they have 4 days avail with the same RAP, he is going on before me if he is under guarantee. “Keep sending him up”

So why do senior pilots bid reserve, because you won’t get used much at all.

It was rhetorical

Yes, clearly. I was adding to what you said, as to it being great for senior pilots to bid. We are in agreement.
