Well all of the US Airlines are completely seniority based and almost all US EK Skippers of the past decade jumped at the first opportunity to join their ranks at the bottom as seniority based systems usually are an outgrowth of unionization which provides for much better quality of life and pay over the life of a pilot’s career than your “egalitarian model” where everyone is treated equally as bad from day 1 to the last day
