Mikk 13 surely it will not have escaped your notice that you are posting on a pilot forum? You may not be aware, but pilots are not as free to change employers once they accrue a bit of seniority.
Certainly everyone in the junior third of the list should read the writing on the wall. Everyone in the top third is too old to move. That leaves the unfortunate middle third who are largely also captive unless they become expatriates-a choice they would have made by now if that was actually a viable option.
Well said alright!
seniority does have some good points but by hell it can be a noose too
As cumbersome as the "seniority" system may appear to the younger generation, it works, mess with it, let the bean counters win, then we may start to hear more stories about pilots distracted by their phones in the final phase of flight.. or pulling the stick back when it should have been pushed forward at a critical moment..
As dramatic as it may sound, Sunfish has a strong point..
I'm loyal to the current well proven "seniority" system at Qantas.. always nice to know it's still there.
