Yesterday you said that LGW bid was preference bidding with a satisfaction factor in favor of seniority. You said that the system tried to achieve 80% satisfaction for senior crew and 40% for more junior. So it is still the same preference system but with different satisfaction levels. Ours is 60% across the board for E/F.
I don't think it is a system based on seniority like the pilots is. I would still consider it a preference system.
Thanks for that perspective.......I have never thought of it like that
It was sold to us as a fleet as a "seniority" based system, and all of us still think of it like that, and it still works like that (mostly). The more senior you are the more likely you are of achieveing your preferences.
I suppose it is a preference system, with a seniority filter!
