Don't agree with that statement. For the very, very, very senior guys yes. For the rest of the senior guys not so much. Being here 6,7 or 8 years makes not so much of a differnce. Being 9 or 10 years here does. I'm senior and I'm doing a 8hr night return shortly. Did one last month and the month before too. And this is from a Captains perspective. Different ballgame for the FO's who gain seniority and a better roster (and annual leave!) much, much faster. With a normal crewing level the rostering system is actually fair and it works. And if you are junior then suck it up, do the nights or earlies and move up the ladder. I've done my fair share of sh*t. Many of us have and now finally reap the rewards of our seniority. That's how a seniority system works. Fair? Hell yes.
