I am also starting over and trying to explain to people what is actually happening always leaves them what a strange look of concern on their face.

They (the customer) would much rather prefer to have the more experienced pilot sitting in the left seat.

I know I know, seniority and all, but the rest of the world in every other industry heavily weighs experience.

Maybe it's time we change that before another lesson is learned in blood.
The laziest most checked out and unhelpful FO I have flown with was years senior to me.
The only FO I’ve had to ask to stop doing something (unsafe and not procedurally correct) had been at the regionals for 15+ years.

Seniority isn’t everything you make it out to be.
