I was thinking about how one would implement a master seniority list or some sort of experience thing if a company went under or someone changed companies.

A master seniority list would be one way, but we have operated this way for so long, how dare anyone have anything different. Kind of like the guys who ***** about pilots with 1600hrs in an airbus when they had to spend 10 years at a regional. Times change.

That being said, I sure as hell dont want a master seniority list as long as I am around. lol

I was thinking there could be some sort of way to at least keep people's pay if they changed companies or something, but they would then basically make all airlines hire lowtime and new pilots instead of seasoned ones.

It is weird to explain to someone that isn't in the industry how I can spend 15 years at a company, it goes bankrupt, and I start over at the bottom and lose all my quality of life and pay, just luck of the draw.

I do think there needs to be some sort of protections or master list done by ALPA to at least try and figure something out for protections for those who change companies, and it will suck no matter how it is implemented, because everyone is used to what we currently have.
