Ever flown for an Airline without seniority? I have. You think Commands get awarded on merit? That the average Pilot waiting for "Grandad" to retire will get their shot quicker if they put the work in?
Didn't work that way in my experience. How about a "Command Assessment interview" with HR? Are you a Company Man/Woman? Why should we give you a Command? Why do you deserve one? Do you have the Companies best interests in mind?
Yea, I'll take seniority any day.
Seniority is a terrible system for an airline to use for deciding who will get a promotion.
It’s only positive attribute is that all of the alternatives are worse.
