Not sure what your point is about the junior F/O vs SFO or Capt, they are still "senior" to the 35 year CSD
You seem to be under the impression the the 200 hr guy does s*d all. Wrong, in the worse case he will still carry the can along with the Captain in the event of an incident or worse still accident - you may recall the infamous Penta arrival at LHR many years ago - sure the Captain lost his "rank", but the new two ringer in the Right Hand seat was also disciplined for failing to monior/intervene when things went awry...and what do you think happened to the CSD?
As for BALPA and BASSA, can't argue with you on that point.
Regards.
