If I am Senior at Pinnacle I would say some combination of the two is fair so we don't lose places from Mesaba's older date of hire or Colgans young group.
Exactly.
I'm just trying to point out the flaw in the pure relative seniority method, and if someone could give me the seniority number of a Colgan guy hired in oct of 2003, I'll show you the flaw in the pure DOH method.
We all would like to see where we fall in this 3 headed monster, and thinking your seniority will be based off purely relative is going to make alot of people sorely disappointed.
If you have put in many many years into a crap company like Pinnacle, Mesaba, or Colgan then you should have that factored into something as important as your seniority number.
