Many of the more senior pilots tried to warn everyone that the only system that works in the long run is "strict seniority". Many of you replied that we were being "selfish" and that as we were senior, we were being self-serving. Well, now you can see the main reason for strict seniority: with a whole new, separate COS, they can use the non-seniority rostering system (which we chose) to effectively provide more efficient rosters for the COS18 pilots (to get their hours up), and give us the remaining rubbish. We've done it to ourselves, because we wouldn't adopt the only proven system in civil aviation. I hate to say I told you so....
