I can easily imagine an AirTran FO being so upset about their treatment that they forget to point out to the SWA captain that the captain forgot to sign the release or overlooked a below mins weather report or left the logbook on the ground or are about to push with the ground power plugged in or are about to put a wingtip into the tail of another plane or, or, or …

Yes without a doubt, its a crappy deal to be stapled to the bottom of any seniority list
