Rotating seniority is the barrow been pushed by people who don't like the present system. Many people do like the present system. No change to the bidding system should be made without a separate vote from the EBA been called for and passed. To anyone who says that the 330 present hourly rate without night credits is ok is kidding themselves. If you flew 800 stick hours at the rate of $265 an hour ( I think that's the approx rate) plus 6 weeks leave gives you just under $240,000. IMO the hourly rate would need to be approx $320 per stick hour with a min guarantee of a about 150 stick hours per eight week bid period. Night credits are there for a bloody reason .
