As we all know, senior pilots are still working 11 day off schedules here. That much is true. But, as you should know, there's a lot more that comes with seniority than how many days off you have. Giving up seniority at one airline to be at the bottom of the list at a different airline, even if it's a vastly better airline, comes at a cost.
Transactional costs change the value proposition. Someone that's been around a while has higher transactional costs than someone that's new or hasn't yet joined the company.
Anyone that understands the system should be able to understand why someone might pick seniority at a worse company over no seniority at a better company.
You say you're a DEC, but I'm starting to wonder if you've ever worked for an airline at all. Your argument sounds so naive.
