Nope but they just walk out once they find out they can't have the shiny 175, unless you bribe them with more money. All the while, our union bends over and allows it all.
The 175 makes up a very small percentage of the fleet. Sooner or later you are going to have to stop circumventing the rules of seniority and stop screwing over our senior FOs - they will bid the 175 and close the hiring door. That or the union will keep being a bunch of weenies and allow you to continue hiring only to the 175, but even then, you can only take so many onto that plane because all of your flows and senior FOs getting ****ed and leaving are coming from the 145.
Not to worry, I'm sure the union will help you find a way to sucker in new hires while still hosing the senior people.
