It just depends if the only goal is $$$.
There's an entire cadre of regional pilots waiting in the wings that
totally understand seniority. A new-hire 777 FO will be junior
forever. Ditto a 4-year CA. That will work for some, but not for others depending upon circumstances.
There's no free lunch on a seniority list and if a new-hire gets 777 the first year it means nearly 13,000 other pilots passed on the opportunity.
