My question if it sucks so bad (which it does) why hasn't there been anything done about it? Where are the unions? Why didn't SkyHigh do something about this? jk
The seniority system is the way they do things in the military and was transferred to the airlines. It was set up as such from day one. The system rewards incompetence and inability. Advancement if awarded in order of hiring regardless of experience or aptitude. I have often believed that if we did away with the seniority system that the airlines would be better for it.
