Sorry YY no grandchildren yet,your ignorance is only exceeded by your rudeness.As for seniority lists they are important,productivity more so.. .no reason why one cannot have both ,a fair days pay for a fair days work quite so; but what is fair?..your forelock tugging is a bit wearing..you may well have a future outside of a cockpit, have you considered it?. Actually pilots costs are still rather irrelevant within Limits; when one considers UAL is losing 2o mil US$ a day i.e in 6.5 days the extra labour costs at A.A (your figures).losses are losses and in some cases you could work for free(I think you just might) & it just wouldn´t help.I´m all for change & when African airports have serviceable Nav Aids & infrastructure & of course no CB´s I will gladly let an armchair operator steer me to my destination & landing but that might be a while off yet.
