This right here is what's wrong with Australian aviation. All the detriments of a seniority list, but none of the protection it is supposed to provide. That and the "I'm ok Jack" attitude is why it'll never change. And for those in the "I'm ok, if you don't like it pound sand" crowd, one day that same turn of events may come for you in the seat and base that you've sacrificed everything for. I hope you'll be ready to pound sand too.
This poem from 1946 comes to mind...
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
