I would do any logical order in the class. Age, number of hours, feats of strength....really any way other than via reverse last four or another seemingly random way to assign seniority (in the class).
Last 4 SSN is fair. |

Last 4 SSN is fair. As someone whose did, I respectfully disagree. I was the second oldest in my class, but had the second worst SSN. It’s small potatoes in the long run, but I would have loved to have avoided the -88. Almost every other airline from LCC to Legacy does it by age. That is the most fair. Younger pilots have decades to make up for it. Agree that by hours is dumb though, since (as a fighter guy with almost as many sorties as hours) military fighter guys are at a particular disadvantage with short, but densely packed flights. Not that any of it matters… |

I’ll bet your last 4 didn’t begin with a 0… 😉

Not that any of it matters… My point about the 88, is that most NH these days with 0, will be in a 220 which is a damn good NEW Airplane. I had young guys above me too. Also had older guys below me… I could go with, let’s do it by hrs, because 1500hr fighter pilot has less airline experience than a 5,000+ Part 121 pilot. Even a heavy plane military pilot has less experience, so they should be sent to the RJs. See, we can both play the same game. SSN is random, that’s fair. Nobody has a real advantage/disadvantage. We all have to pay our dues one way or another. And to keep it classy, anything before Delta doesn’t matter according to some people that want age 67. :D |
