The removal of the seniority system causes other unwanted side effects, back stabbing, playing favourites and everyone spending more time protecting their asses than actually doing their job and assisting the development SOP's/safe operations.
The no blame policy goes right out the window, its all about blame, Captains and F/O not trusting each other or working together terribly well and ultimately someone ends up smacking , right into a big rock or an icey river ( huge staff turnover ).
IMHO the CP has to have big brass balls and stand by his/her line Pilots, not allow managers to railroad staff under his/her control, quite often this will put a CP head to head with a CEO/GM.
What tends to happen is the CEO/GM will hire a CP that can be manipulated, often not the most suitable for the job, but putty in their hands.
Many of these companies having troubles come down to their CP not doing their job properly, "tell em they're dreaming", was a famous quote from the best CP i've had, and Ooohhhh how that infuriated the GM. He was and is a great CP.
