I personnally think you are right, merit can't be measured in a sim. and meritocracy is probably the worst system in airline business. However, I can see sometimes that seniority leads to enormous training costs and I have problems to train somebody who is known to be of poor standards just because his number has come up. I am not in management at all, but in training and although we must do our upmost to get the guys best, it is sometimes impossible.
