IOW...
We all know "where we are"
How do you propose to account for "where we are going"
Eg; I can not hold any Group 4 position until the junior dude on the date of acquisition can hold a position in that individual G4 status.
That is fair and equitable. His career path on 4/9/2001 included those positions. Mine didn't include those G4 positions until 4/10/2001.
It doesn't matter that my airline had flown the World for 70 years, was the first all-jet airline, one of the first two to get 747's, the first to conduct ETOPS, how old I was, how cute my mother used to think I was - or anything else.
Those were our respective career paths, and his has been preserved in that respect.
It seems that some think that a positin on one list entitles them to jump over those on the other list and take a larger share of those opportunities that existed only in much smaller numbers/proportions.
Yes?
No?
