Is there any other airline that uses some screwball way of determining new hire seniority? Every airline I know of (AA, UA, WN, NK, B6, VX, and the regionals) all use age. Who cares if someone is Sr to you if they’re older? They’ll be gone and you’ll still be making $$$ for years later.

The only fix I can imagine is a system whereby new hires could buy another's pick. I literally would have paid $5,000 to avoid the 88 since it forced me to commute. And no, I don't see that happening.
