The mid seniority group got shafted the worst, flying with some of the double furloughees, the stories you hear 😬. Then you talk to some of these senior people who whine about the entitled youth when they themselves got hired at 250 hours, upgraded in a year, and never got furloughed.

Seniority should have perks but it shouldn’t be an ivory tower imo. And this is coming from someone who is 20% or so in base. You never know when you’re going to get knocked down a peg and reserve will no longer “be a choice”. Or maybe economic conditions change and you never get that 5 years of max payscale 787 captain the pilot a year senior to you did.
