Okay Tee Tail, lets put this into your perspective. Lets say that you are flying your piston whatever and based at XYZ airport because the company you fly for won't let you be based at ABC airport, which by the way is were you are originally from and would love to work from there. They tell you that after 3 years you can have the opportunity to apply for that base. You say okay, no sweat, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Then the company you work for says, ahhh bin that, we are going to hire guys onto ABC base flying a brand new King Air and there's nothing you can do about it. Three years later you can't bid onto ABC because it is now full up with all the others hired behind you. How do you feel? The SO's are not complaining about their lot they are upset about the way the seniority system has been systematically destroyed by zealous management.
