Scumby gets a SHACK, right on target.

Once a pilot has seniority number, his lacks mobility--the ability to tell an airline PI** OFF, I'm going elsewhere. Then, mgt has that pilot because a 40% pay cut is better than an 80% cut required by changing companies.

Having said that, I haven't a clue how to institute a national list. The idea as been batted around for years, but too many pilots have too much invested in the present system.
