That's true, like most opinions here...
So you're lucky to get a bit of a change on your roster...
I do (except for South America).
So far this year 4 south-, 13 east- and 11 westbound trips.
the point is rather, that the nicer trips have become less, and are thus heavily requested by high seniority people.
Sure, if you compare the present with the past (like 5 years ago maybe?) there have been some changes (I've been told).
But if you just joined you can only compare the present situation with your own previous situation.
Being fair or not, as everything seems to be based on seniority the chances are that the senior people will get their requested/better trips.
That's the way it is.
Exactly. So: starting over 40, expect your upgrade between 50 and 60. Meaning: not much has to go wrong, and you never get it.
That could be true.
If you really need those 4 stripes to be able to enjoy life you better join expanding companies like Emirates or Oasis.
