This is of course assuming you consider a year of service to be "worth" something.

I understand where pilots get attached to the DOH/Longevity thing because we live in a seniority based system. But that currency only trades equal if all things remain the same. You exchange rate would to vary significantly once yoh leave the borders of your localized seniority list.

Just a thought.
