Seniority lists are so.... 1920's.

Forget them in their current form, along with any compensation based on so-called seniority. As long as you're basing one's pay to their date-of-hire and date-of-hire alone, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Want to look at "seniority"? Look at how things are done overseas at places like Emirates. Seniority? Yeah, it has its place, but it's not the end-all-be-all, and that seems like the biggest hurdle for US pilots to overcome.

As long as you potentially have a member being paid $30/hour and $90/hour for doing the EXACT same job in the same seat, you'll have MBA's (who have never seen such a thing before anywhere else) be good number crunchers/businessmen and keep you as close to that $30/hour mark as possible.
