So, your claim to a higher seniority is living in Denver? Following that logic all the Purdue-bians should have seniority since most of them grew up in Indiana, went to Purdue in Indiana, wanted to fly for CHQ so they could be home based in IND and the holding companies headquarters is in IND.

But, you knew there was no contract when you went there, right? Same as I knew what my pay and work rules were going to be when I came here.

Yep, like all other pilot groups, we have our dee nozzles. And they all seem to want to post BS on the internet.

I didn't say anything about the quality of turboprop pilots. I was alluding to the "further along in their career argument".

Trust me. There are more than a few of us here that are aware of the the cyclic nature of the airline industry. ACA, FlyI, Skyway, ect. As a matter of fact, I think we have one pilot who has been on all three of those lists. But, what does that have to do with the discussion?
My overall point is that every group's argument could be used against them in one way or another. And that "fair" is a matter or individual perception, not a matter of fact.
