A fair bit more senior then and on the same fleet as EMB-145LR (top fifth on the fleet) and have pretty much worked every weekend this year. Working a weekend doesn't bother me and therefore I have nothing in my bid groups restricting the amount of weekend work. Also seen a graph with the weekend points vs seniority on our fleet (FO A320 LHR) and you would be surprised how weekend points are much more spread over the whole seniority range then some assume it is.
