On a related topic, for Airbus in particular,(& with regard to the discussion on the swap group), is the CRS system failing us? The 'manual insertion' argument perhaps needs to addressed, yet there are concerns with trips allocated bearing no resemblance to what is bid for, even by those completely au fait with the system. Excellent job by the volunteer guys, but perhaps time to ditch CRS in favour of something more equitable, particularly for the long suffering 'smallbus' pilots. I'm completely demoralised by my roster every month, even in top bid months. Further more, April got two AD's 'post publication'...just to add insult. I do realise of course that is part of the problem. CRS is fine by itself but not when meddled with. I too am prepared to do my fair share of bad trips, but surely can expect something decent in higher bid groups
