this would allow them still hire military pilots without the problem of being leap frogged by all the regional pilots below them with a seniority number. Pretty sure any regional pilot would totally fine with that assuming they received a seniority number on day one of WO service.
so you would interdigitate the new hire military into an existing seniority list? So for every military new hire every person on the WO list finds themselves bumped BACKWARDS in seniority? And that won’t create any resentment? How about the guy retiring with 20 years in who comes to the WO to knock off the dust from a decade of flying a desk. So once he gets the dust knocked off, his WO number goes away, and everyone else takes a step back?
