Why would a performance-based career system be fairer than a seniority-based system? How do you make sure that "more liked" people would get an unfair advantage? We have had lots of discussions about these and many other points and the conclusion was always the same: you'll get your chance to upgrade by order of seniority, you'll get your preferred fleet by order of seniority. You can still mess up those tests and training courses and not make it - it is all about getting
your turn on this. And then it is seniority that is the only transparent means. There's not much to discuss about this, it is very simple.
