The problem with any of the seniority / longevity ideas is that both of those concepts are defined in the APA JCBA, and offering those benefits to pilots not yet on property would take negotiation with APA, which by some accounts the company doesn't seem willing to do. Given that there was already some negative comments by the APA President about WO pilots being paid their large bonuses while being in AA new hire classes (the last, large amount is supposed to come on their last WO paycheck, which at PSA could come well after leaving the company), I would imagine the APA would try and extract as much negotiating leverage as they could out of it (as well they should), and AAG doesn't seem willing to give much up at the moment.
