Its not as if this split between new joiners and the squirearchy is a new thing...remember when it was 11900 for new joiners and 19200 for old guys? As long as you realise that the HKAOA has always been, and will always be, run for the benefit of those in the upper stratosphere of the seniority list then things are not too bad....don't worry, you'll all get there in the end!
