Wow. Have gate agents screwed you over in the past?

Or....imagine on a tight flight, you've been at the airport for 2 hours and Joe Schmoe walks up at departure time and bumps you because he's been at the company six months longer. Now you've waited another 2.5 hrs for the next flight only to get bumped again by someone senior. This goes on flight after flight as non-rev after non-rev keeps you on the ground. There are positives and negatives to either system.

That's the beauty of it all. If you don't like how one company does it, you don't have to work there.
