Alittle over the top... you think?. Can't believe you are a Midwest pilot.

A national seniority list will never happen. But something is needed in this industry to let a pilots experience have some value like the 1500 hr minimum to be a first officer.

Here is FAA law that would work like a National Seniority list. Pilots would still keep their company seniority number and bidding rights.

Example:

1500 min flight time for First Officer
5000 min flight time for a Class C license (eg. over 70,000 lbs max) for the Captain only
10000 min flight time for a Class B license (eg. over 140,000 lbs max) for the Captain only

15000 min flight time for Class A license (eg. over 200,000 lbs) for the Captain only



Just throwing it out as an idea.
