There has been mild slip back in seniority for junior captains. That's just the facts. The scarce upgrade bids since the door plug have gone way more senior, a handful have chosen to downgrade across those bids, and another handful have been forced to downgrade. Personally, I don't dwell on it 24/7 like someone else here and I don't hate my job or life because of it, but it is undeniably true. I also share the skeptical sentiment that Boeing will suddenly reverse 15 years of trend and start performing as promised. If they happen to actually start delivering 10's early to mid 27 I will be really surprised. Our competition has managed to grow over these last few years while we haven't. I expect that we will reverse that trend, but I'm not so optimistic that it will happen for us as planned in 27. Also, keep your sympathy, I don't need it. Instead just be honest with yourself about how our careers have performed over the last few years compared to our industry peers.
