I encourage you to extend your thought process beyond your own immediate self-interest and instant gratification of moving up a number on the seniority list....
Wow...what a change in the industry that would be...Pilots (or CC or Engineers) actually giving a crap about the numbers below them...experience tells us that it's ALL about the seniority list...and where one sits on that list. How many lawsuits have there been proving the very fact that the higher on the list, the better...hence the current bun fight in Canada!
