To paraphrase Wiston Chuchill " seniority is the worst possible system, except for all the others ".

Within a system were all employees have to regularly pass performance checks or get fired how else do you run a system that gives recognition for long service?

If you have any other ideas I would like to hear them.

On the issues of P2F I have to agree with you, as soon as you step onto an aircraft that has passengers as a crew memberyou should be paid as a employee, this is because your legal status in terms of responsibility to the passengers is questionable if you are not employed or contracted to the airline as a servant of that airline, if you are paying to fly effectively they are providing you with a service and do have a duty to you !

You make the opposition point very well, those who want to roll out the 900 hour rule and ignore the fact that the time you spend on the employers business is more than double this !
