Ralph
so kill seniority,
what are you going to do about the F/O's... your post suggest that the Captains can change jobs at will, and, well WTF, the guy in the RHS, he is just there and can stay in the RHS..
So how does that let an airline plan for the future when Captains, are to old, suddenly don't have a medical, retire, etc?.
And how does an F/O plan for his future when his seniority means "jack" because some Captain has the thought pattern that loyalty means nothing and chases Airlines for cash, lifestyle or whatever.
DEC is ok when it is needed, ie start up etc, but your comments rank of thought patterns some 30 years ago. (GOD springs to mind).
In closing.... I hope you have posted a wind up, if it was it was a good one, you got me.
, but my arguement still stands.
