You want to make a life flying non 121? Go for it. You'll risk giving up seniority.
If you want to maintain your relative senori at your current airline then don't switch companies.
If a pilot has not changed companies then they will not lose their relative senority by having a pilot that is changing pushing them downward. This will make the national senority list useless at first but allow upcoming generations to benefit. Boiled down this means that pilots that do not switch companies from where they were before the list will be protected. Pilots that join a company after the list is formed will be fair game to be pushed downward.
Thoughts?
Interesting ideas.
What about all the scum bag airlines out there? Wouldn't they just hire the least experienced pilots so they don't have to pay as much in pilot labor costs?
