This is a discussion that might never end, wannabes and people unhappy with their lot in life want to end seniority. Those who have spent years with an Airline building a career like it! I don't wish to leave my job of 13 years to jump to the bottom of a new heap OR to slot in above others. I expect to stay here and take promotion when my seniority allows me to demonstrate my ability! I am happy, I may be here for the next 20 years - my choice! If you wan't my job that is fine, but you come here junior to ME!
