what you don't understand is that your greed will be the end of you, if the trips were shared around you may get to keep some of your seniority system, but you want it all don't you!
with this attitude all you are doing is alienating other crew.
Cart elevator your post about the arthritis made me laugh, but poor old frank cant see the funny side of this as he was going to use this in his next argument.
Frank by the sounds of it you are the type that used to get your crew meal on seniority with no intentions of eating it , you did it because you could.(farrk the poor junior that never got his/her choice)
well we know what happened to that kind of selfishness, it went out the window didn't it, people simply got fed up! that is why you cannot choose your meal on seniority! greed and selfishness ensured that.
