I think a fair system would be to cap all destinations to two a roster. That would share around the popular ones, and make those who do nothing but the popular trips see 'the other side of flying'.
It would never allow the most junior of us to go to HNL/ SFO etc but would allow more people to go to these destinations.
Leave general bidding, days off, annual leave to be bidded on seniority .... thats fine.
But the point was made, when those who are currently gettin all the HNL's, SFO's, NRT's etc were junior (there was no bid system!), there was a hell of a lot more in the way of destinations, so therefore more variety for them -even as juniors.
12 months to go and counting.... back soon
