"The only way we will get anywhere is by getting rid of seniority."
and
"The only pilots the company needs to attract are SOs. Then they need to retain them long enough so that their seniority prevents them from leaving."
There seems to be some contradiction here?
However, without seniority you can be sure that the Fleet Manager's drinking pals, golfing pals and the old school tie will get first shot at advancement.
Furthermore, you stand to get knocked further down the promotion list by people joining the company with more experience than you.
Seniority is. I'm afraid, a double edged sword but one side of the blade is slightly sharper than the other.
I wish you well.
