Jetstar for one, where senority is a "major considersation". Not the sole consideration. The argument is not to abandon seniority altogether here.
Just about every other carrier in the world, bar a couple of dying legacy carriers works in similar fashion through different variations. I know TL, as I've worked for some.
The point being discussed runs deeper than just promotion though: it relates to change of aircraft type, change of base, redundancy lists, etc.
A myriad of complex scenarios.
The business model at Jetstar is too complex for strict datal seniority.
-The operation is growing too quickly
-Has introduced many aircraft types rapidly
-Has too many bases, which it tends to close/open/vary all too flipantly
-Is a complex mix of operation
-Has a wide range of experience levels
-IS A LOW COST CARRIER
Want strict datal seniority and what it can afford, then there's always QF.
