if you were to ask anyone in the other than aviation world about promotions etc it is based around the best man for the job principle....yes I know aviation is different
Agree with your post
woodja51. Except for the bit about aviation being different? How is it different?
Seniority is driving down terms and conditions as it dilutes an individuals competitive advantage. Seniority is a contributing factor to the decline in the industry, while other executive roles continue to go from strength to strength.
A clear example of this was the extreme shortage of pilots 2 years ago yet there was no significant increase in terms and conditions. Why? Because experienced captains could not enter airlines at the command level - rather join at the bottom. Think about it.
