True that.
I hope I never need those 20+ numbers either, but I am sure glad I have them, just in case.
I have seen plenty of people hurt, or saved, for many years, by a single seniority number.
If things keep moving non stop for the next 18 years, my decision will likely have been wrong. If there is any kind of hiccup in the airline industry over the next 18 years then those numbers may save me (or may not).
Historically the odds are on my side, whether 23 numbers will make a difference..... who knows.
YMMV
