He is survived by his wife of 30+ years and 3 sons. RIP "Blue"

Is this correct (days available are the same)? Here's what the contract says. Thanks.

S. Reserve Pilots
1. A reserve pilot will:

a. be awarded/assigned open time under Section 23 N. or O.

Note one: Open time will be assigned to reserve pilots (within days-of-availability groupings) beginning with the reserve pilots within the lowest RAW value grouping and then progressing to the reserve pilots within the next higher RAW value grouping.

Note two: Within days-of-availability groupings, reserve pilots whose RAW values are in the same RAW value grouping will be assigned open time in inverse seniority order unless one or more of them have submitted a yellow slip, in which case open time will be awarded in seniority order to the reserve pilot(s) who submitted a yellow slip for such open time.

Yes.. Assuming no yellow slips etc, the pilot in bucket 1 would be assigned a trip over a pilot in bucket 2 assuming your short calls began at the same time. If the trip is going to cause a pilot to be within 2 hours of whitlow they can bypass that pilot. If the trip is also less than 2 hours after the start of SC,
(Commuter policy) they can also choose the next pilot down in RUO.

At least that is how I understand it.. If everything is identical, the pilot in the lesser bucket should get the trip.
