As I said, no offence.
I will say this though; The DECs I know, also applied very similar logic when applying to FZ. However, the reality of brutal rostering tends to kick in quite quickly and the shine soon wears off, as does 10 years of your life....
Having worked here for a number of years, I remember only to well the effect that this type of rostering has on the body and quality of life. As such, I can empathize with those DECs at the bottom.
Whilst I agree whole heartedly with seniority, I also understand that this system, in it's current format, is unfair. This is just my honest opinion and I don't claim to speak for any other pilot.
