If your complaint is about democratic representation in general, what makes representation by seniority block worse? Is it more democratic? More representative?

What is your experience with a Block Representation system?


If your airline is like a country made up of Wyoming, Texas, Alaska, and California, and you're one of the few citizens of Wyoming, which system of representation would best ensure that your voice is heard and your opinion matters? A "House of Representatives" system where you will be in a permanent minority and easily ignored, or a "Senate" system where the elected representatives have to work together, strive for compromise, and more fully explore solutions that will satisfy everyone?

You know what they say about power and corrupting. Concentrate voting power in a few Captain reps in a big base, and the potential for corruption increases. Spread the voting power evenly across the seniority spectrum, and you'll see a very dynamic change in the boardroom.
