FDX -Secondary vs Regular disparity
I was looking at the LAX secondary line maximum range FCIF. The highest regular line in the bidpack for NOV for both Capt and F/O was 70:25. The average was 63:04. The secondary lines are going be built with a maximum of 73:00. Higher than the highest regular line and 10 hours (over 15%) higher than the average. Plus, the company get the bonus of not including any of the secondary lines should in the calculation of the R-Day value. The company seems to be implementing a "preferential bidding" within the guidelines of our contract. I am sure it is the same for other seats.

I'm feeling your frustration and don't like it any more than you do

Do you have an example? In the MD-11 left seat, the low line is 60 and I see no trips (bidpack, revised or EXTRA) in OT greater than 73CHs!
