Whatever method that ensures seniority rules first and foremost then count me in.
Since I'm asking for the wrong method, then what do you suggest?
DOH! Look, I really don't care about the jumpseat and the method used to determine priority. The new MEC will decide that. If you want to hold to the JP obstructionist ways going forward, then you're in for a long, lonely path of disappointment. You can vote for Tony if you like but the majority of the CAL pilots want to move forward - not stand still.
