It's not okay that the company is doing this (the only real violation is not filling out the m7 report in the vast majority of cases) and effectively abrogating seniority so a few senior pilots can collect m7 pay.
I honestly don't care if a few senior pilots are making bank on contractual rules. I do care if the company is violating the contract. I think that balancing senior/junior is an entirely separate discussion to the one happening here.
So what's the trouble?
1) super-seniors making bank
2) company not paying properly
My vote is for #2.
And if #2 is the goal, and we furiously enforce it, I think that's the closest alligator to the boat and the best bargaining chip.
#1 can come later.
