If you’re actually interested in facts, here’s one... it is a fact that there are many pilots in our ranks that are senior to (and often much younger than) pilots that were hired nearly a decade before them. Therefore, their seniority wasn’t earned as much as it was given to them.

As if they’re any less of an issue than the rest of the constant whining about whatever the topic of the day is at any given time. If there’s a discussion about how the “senior” pilots paid their dues through their “long and tumultuous” career, I feel there should be some perspective interjected from time to time. Guaranteed there will be complaining about this current agreement and the division of the pilot group 10 years from now.

This isn’t another SLI discussion per se. It was mentioned earlier about pilots who were senior have paid their dues where junior pilots hadn’t, and I merely pointed out a fact that not all pilots who had seniority had actually paid their dues. It’s simple, and it’s not an argument, just a statement of fact.

Look at what we've become. The diminishing of the seniority system has allowed the discussion of I've suffered more than than you and therefore I'm justified in my endeavors. Like OldMako said, good luck and let me know how it turns out in ten years. The precedence has been set. Next time it will be easier and deeper.

There are bottom 1/3 pilots with battle stars. There are a lot more battle stars than the ones given out in ‘85.
There are bottom 1/3 pilots that have had their airlines go out of business.
There are bottom 1/3 pilots that were MEC members for ALPA and other unions doing everything they could to raise the bar for their pilots.
There are bottom 1/3 pilots that have been victims of an SLI.....Midwest Pilots? They really took it in the shorts.
There are bottom 1/3 pilots that have been furloughed.
just because it didn’t happen at United doesn’t mean it didn’t affect the profession. Take a breath and try to unlock yourself from the tunnel vision you seem to be having. I’ll respect you when earn it.
