You could indeed take it to the press. A simple look at the speadsheet one fellow pilot made with seniority numbers says it all...
But ask yourself: will it change something?....I doubt it...
There are thousands and thousands with zero experience in the market willing to jump if EK opens up again....So thats the card they played....
it is indeed a very major upset, and for a lot of us hard to swallow, but I suggest to put your energy in other things...They're not worth it that you waste your time or lose your energy over them. You simply can't win....
good luck nevertheless....
