There’s the rub. If we are all going to have the same opportunities give or take a few seniority numbers, cool. But with the two year seat lock, one pilot can be in EWR on reserve for potentially the whole seat lock (maybe 1.5yrs if lucky) in a 756 while someone a year or two older in class has a line immediately on the coast in a 737/320 or bids to ORD/DEN/IAH and sits RSV.

Maybe I’m off base but I’m guessing new hires getting 756 at such a high rate is a new thing. Thus, this is a new phenomenon that requires a fresh look. Nobody is arguing the 756 is not a great jet, with great trips, at a great airline.

It’s just unfortunate to see such an objection to diversity of thought and new ideas. We don’t have to agree with each other on viewpoints but the mob mentality and character attacks (millennial, selfish, ungrateful) is concerning and does very little to move the ball forward.
