Seniority question
Hi all
I keep hearing that seniority in the airlines is everything, but I don’t have the smallest idea on how that works. If I change airlines, do I lose my seniority? If you go to SkyWest or another airline, do you start off with the first year pay?
Thank you all.

Opposed to the other option where some one has put in years of service at a company only to have some one move in senior to them just because their company tanked... or even worse just because they decided to switch companies.
Seniority is everything... Get it early and try to find ways to knock off those senior to you... (feed them lots of cheesecake and pizza, convince them that its a great idea to barrel roll a 737, or bet the capt $50 to walk into the terminal riding a Harley buck naked with out a helmet!)

I think it was a DAL FO a few years ago who did a statistical analysis involving motorcycle safety, seniority, and upgrade times...
The end result was that he calculated that if every FO at DAL bought their captain a motorcycle, the net average improvement in FO seniority (due to motorcycle accidents) would provide a 5-1 return on investment for the cost of the motorcycle...
