It's a share the pain with seniority not meaning so much system. Yes, it's always better to be senior than junior, but once you get to the basics of the lines, there's not a world of difference between lines of similar types ie Europe, pac rim, round the world. Mostly, what day do you want to start. A good trip and a bad trip for all, vs two goods for the senior guy and two bads for the junior.
