Ummm seniority works for me ......
You know... you guys want to return home straight to the left hand seat of some jet with Air NZ..but most pilots (probably all) at Air NZ would have your quals, plus some, so whats the advantage to the Company...?
And why would you want to fly in freezing fog, Cat111, sand storms etc unless you had to (especially in one day) fraid I dont see that as a plus...
