Because that is the joint seniority list like it or not. Longevity doesn't mean s!@#. You via your bargaining agent accepted arbitration and that is the list ruled on. You don't have to like it, but if you have integrity you accept it. We did at NWA (while some still and always will *****) nobody sued(maybe in small numbers, but never gained traction) and we went on acting/flying professionally and doing our jobs. Some guys had close to 3000 pilots that were hired after them slotted ahead of them. Chew on that. That is more pilots than on your entire list. You can either handle this as an adult or like the usapa losers. Your choice.
