Favoritism was when people would buy rosters from the boys in the rostering department. Those who refused to participate in the bidding were given worse roster than what the "poor" junior guys are getting now. Following strict seniority in awarding flights per a pilots bid request is not showing favoritism, but actually following a transparent protocol. If you don't like what your seniority holds, please quit and join another airline. Oh wait, I imagine that would not improve your seniority either
