We don't have a national seniority list,in case you haven't heard,so that argument doesn't fly.Please publicly identify yourself,so you are never elected to any union position. Do you honestly think because somebody works/worked at YX/F9 they should all be senior to you ? Ever hear of "Stockholm syndrome" ? Try doing this and it will be "Nic 2010-The Sequel".How much did all that experience buy the TWA guys at AA ? Hmmm ?
Well, if you actually slow down and read my post, you will see that in no way did my theoretical proposal put all YX and F9 pilots at the top of the list, nor would all be entitled to captain spots. And as for Stockholm syndrome, that entails sympathizing with your captor/oppressor, and YX and F9 are in no way captors in this whole mess. Fairness requires empathy to some degree, and I am not apologetic for that.
