Squirrel, don't get me wrong in what I'm about to say, because I do think that what is happening to you and your colleagues is very disruptive and very sad.
I do however, if what seems about to happen does happen, disagree with you in that you should be treated out of seniority to retain your command.
You say that you took four years of hard work to attain it, so you won't give it up lightly.
Had you been in BA for that length of time, either as a DEP or a CEP, you would only just be becoming an SFO. Three years later, you would become SFO1. With luck, maybe after another four years of hard work, including possibly having to study a buisiness course in your own time and putting up with much bull**** at such events as "captains for the future", you would then have the seniority to start a short haul command course.
So really, your four years shouldn't mean that you jump the queue, should it?
