Of course you can blame the guys who took the commands out of seniority. I can and I do. They did nothing to improve their own or anybody elses situation. Yes they were earning more than an F/O but they were now Captains. Their salary compared to F/O was now irrelevant.
These people have no regard for seniority, when it suits them of course, yet are often the most vocal when it comes to violation of COS. Fark off I say.
How about the early freighter Captain who operated into Dubai and then refused to PX on the freighter back to HKG? Really??? Violation of his COS he said! What a tosser!!
Early freighter commands were agreed by the AOA, so what, so were G-Day call out fees but there are plenty of out-of-seniority freighter Captains who don't agree with guys doing that.
