Plenty of criticism here of how it is being done. How would you do it?
Surely if you have been on the ATR for five years you would be captain - maybe odd exception. Is there anything wrong with that. Bit hard to operate them without captains. To me, sounds better than rhs 737 or back seat 777.
Correct me if I am wrong, wouldn't a five year better seniority number guarantee you lhs in the jet well before a newbie?
