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.
yes its over the top, thats the whole point.
you are correct, no longer a midwest pilot, just as you are no longer.
I am prepared to write the check though.
what are you going to do?
