And I also disagree with penalizing locals to solely benefit commuters.
But as that 30-year employee, I’d be more miffed by the 31-year employee showing up ahead of everyone on the list a few hours later than the Endeavor new hire who I already knew about and could plan around.
The ability to have a solid idea of how many non-revs will be ahead of you 24 hours before a flight outweighs any benefit of seniority fairness in my opinion. No matter how senior you are, there is always someone more senior here who can swipe seats at the last minute.
I agree that a hybrid system could work best here.
