I understand...but I think you are making my point.. people stay at their job because of wage or personnal preference (location, stability, family, etc). But just considering income earned, if you could jump ship and make more money, economically...you should do that...right? Irregardless of loyaly. But if you would earn less if you moved to another airline...why would you leave?? You won't. I really don't know much at all about airline life, or really economics or senority lists...but aren't seniority lists just future income potential over time??
