Please justify why on earth you think you should have a mainline seniority number? I'm really interested. And somewhat annoyed by such an entitled attitude. But please, go ahead?

Respectfully - Perhaps you should be asking yourselves (as a group) what you would lose if they were stapled to the bottom of your seniority list ? Then ask yourself why the Qantas group enjoys outsourcing its flying to separate seniority lists on significantly lower terms. Qantas IR have a hundred reasons to like it. Ninety nine percent of those reasons should make you not like it. The remaining one percent is the sting of pride. It absolutely sucks to have anyone given something that you worked very hard for. But in the cold hard light of day, pride is not a good reason to give up that kind of IR leverage.
My humble opinion, having seen both sides of that coin.
