In the VFN Awarding Order, who is prioritized for trips when everyone has a conflict?

In the context of the VFN Awarding Order, the prioritization of trips during conflicts typically favors the most senior pilot in the base. This is grounded in the principle that seniority often equates to greater experience and familiarity with the operations and specific protocols of the organization or airline. By prioritizing the most senior pilot, the organization ensures that those who have the longest service and likely possess the most operational knowledge benefit from trip assignments, thus enhancing both safety and efficiency in operations. Prioritizing seniority also acknowledges the commitment of seasoned pilots, rewarding them for their dedication and potentially alleviating conflicts that may arise from less experienced pilots taking precedence. This prioritization strategy helps maintain a structured and fair approach to trip awards while respecting the experience and loyalty of long-serving pilots.
