Collecting 23M7 for multiple overlapping trips or multiple GS while not moving to the back of the line is the problem for mid seniority folks.
I agree with this wholeheartedly,
At the same time, I feel that the much bigger threat is spending any negotiating capital to achieve it. The company doesn't give a sh*t who gets paid... hell they would rather pay the junior pilot at the lower pay rate.
This is why I feel that discussion over 23m7 senior/junior is superfluous, albeit relevant. And potentially a distraction.
