Well this is why caring company’s offer in the first round a retirement package - in case of EK a easy 200 pilots as not every senior captain is willing to fly 120hr/m for the next 3-5 years
second round is seniority thereafter if required down grade captains by seniority to right seat with given priority for the left again
that’s it - I have seen companies doing exactly this and combined with unpaid leave short work etc it worked well and found a wide understanding amongst employees but that’s only for manager who cares
if people get sacked over cost position e.g. using sick days and costing medical support to the company means only you penalized over using your contracted “health insurance “ where you not even have a choice to do different - excellent system
and punishing somebody over one misshab in operation - if one of you is supportive to such a criteria be careful it could be you for farting into the seat and getting reported
avaiation had only on fair system - seniority as it let everybody know where he/she stands and not having sleepless night - interfering safety while the circumstances how you are chosen stay in the dark
