I am not at Flybe.
I take no joy in what is happening at Flybe.
What I will say is that if you think there will be universal or even popular support for any action to protect those at the top of a system of seniority which the current crop at the bottom can never hope to enjoy the fruits of then you are living in a dream world.
Perhaps this salutary tale might make a few others start to question the "fairness" of seniority systems.
The ones who argue hardest for seniority systems are the ones who don't believe that they will ever have to experience starting again at the bottom as many of us have had to do.
p.s. no, BALPA is not fit for purpose. Us junior guys have known it for a while, now it turns out it is no good for the senior guys either.
