E.K. Gann : "Seniority is a system designed to protect the weak and incompetent."
firewall,
Ernest Gann was WRONG!!
Seniority ensures that everyone gets a fair crack of the whip.
A good Training and objective Checking programme removes the weak and incompetent. Whether you think that CX has both of these is really up to you.
Things have moved on since Ernest Gann's time - fortunately.
