Absolutely NOT in favor of a national seniority list. I'm a member of an independent union. My company is financially sound. My company would be a purchaser of other companies and then they would take selected assets and selected key employees only. My company is in no danger of ever being bought out by another and therefore, I have no worry of having to start over at the bottom of someone else's seniority list.
It seems that the only people in favor of a national seniority list are those working at financially struggling airlines and those that are in danger of being bought out.

Wow Czech, could you put a bigger jinx on your company. Isn't singing the praises of your companies invincibility like talking to your pitcher in the 7th inning about his no-hitter? And, don't you think that there were some Pan-Am and TWA pilots saying the same thing 30 years ago. History has a tendency to repeat itself.

Not worried about a jinx or karma or any of that BS. Only stating facts about my company. Oh, my company isn't an airline in the traditional sense, so it's not subject to traditional airline industry pressures and up and down cycles.
IF something were to happen to my employer, it would be a SHTF and TEOTWAWKI scenario, so starting over at the bottom of someone else's seniority list wouldn't even be on the radar scope.

No. Just an employee for a integrated transportation and logistics provider that is fairly senior, financially well off and is not worried about my companies future.
My company has purchased two companies that either had or used to have their own airlines at the time of purchase. My company just took selected portions of both companies, mainly operating rights and customer bases. We did not take any aviation related assets or any aviation related employees from either company.

Imagine a master seniority list. ... With a master seniority list perhaps we don't have to start back at the bottom.
Also, there would have to be some crazy formula to prevent a senior guy from getting furloughed at a one airline and then going right tot he [sic]top of somebody else's seniority list.
