The reality is that low seniority pilots have absolutely no chance of getting a 'gentleman's' flight as is called.
It will always be night FRU, OSS, MUX, DOH, MCT, double sectors, etc. Never mind the annual leave.
What is the point of having an 'R' underneath my night TBS I wonder...
The pilots of the same company are called colleagues. They usually do the same work and earn the same or simillar living, given the same rank, especially in a new company. It changed here. Seniority can be rewarded in a different way, more salary, different scale, more annual leave, etc.
Not in expense of the days OFF of the other pilots. Everyone has a lifestyle, family, children, that they would like to spent weekends with, or see more often, or spent more time with, etc etc.
Fairness is the magic word. Alternating seniority in bidding can correct things I guess. But I guess high seniority guys wouldn't like to give it up...
But after all is not a fair world.
