With all respect Avro, that wasn't exactly the point I was trying to get at.
Actually was leaning more towards having a more structured, separate if you will, Regional ALPA that coordinated a worked closely with Mainline ALPA to set boundaries, rules, and basic regulation mandatory in contracts. I'm not suggesting separate the two union groups completely, but at least a set a different set of goals and mission statements for either side.
While I don't think a "One Seniority List" proposal is a horrid idea, I just think the sheer logistics of being able to come up with a list that everyone could agree on is damn near impossible. Conjoining merely two large sized pilot groups is a monumental feat, nevermind ALL the pilot groups out there. Personally, I can't see anyway of creating said list in way that would be "Fair and Equitable" to all the pilots.
In theory, it's a decent idea that would down the line create some stability and fairness to senior pilots, but I can't see management signing off on it and at the end of the day we all, collectivelly, have bigger fish to fry these days.
