I don't even get involved in Seniority integration talks with any pilot for the simple fact that:
1. I have no say at the table
2. I have no VOTE on the outcome
3. An arbitrator will be making the final decision.
I'm serious when I say I do not spend time thinking about the SLI process and where I will fall on the list. There is not one thing I can do about it, and an arbitrator can decided to do whatever he/she wants. So, to me, even discussions about this topic are a waste of time as no two people will ever agree on how it should be and what should be taken into account.
Personally, I would love to see seniority go by tall guys, born in NY on a Thursday afternoon, right around happy hour, who like pizza after a round on the course trying to maintain their 15 handicap....but that is just me.
