When I first started the back to back Jobergs were all crewed by people with less than 2 years experience in the company due to seniority. It was very rare to see someone with more than about 5 years seniority on one of those trips.

Aeroplanes didn't fall out of the sky because of crew inexperience. And the crew inexperience you would have to say was a direct result of seniority.

DEFCON4;

Seniority is a recognition of accumulated experience and an ability to identify problems BEFORE they become problems.
So are you saying those destinations that are crewed back to back by the most junior of people because of seniority are a less safe than those destinations crewed by senior ones? Perhaps we should get some more senior ones to those destinations so they can be deemed safe again.
