In this day and age of 30 yr First officers and 1 year Captains, who exactly is a junior pilot? Just being an FO does not make one junior.

I rarely comment about this type of stuff, but one thing I've noticed is that as a younger post merger hire, it always seems like the company has its stuff together and the union is a never ending **** show dumpster fire. And with all the politicking going on right now, I can't imagine new guys have a lot of faith in their representation.

With the company rapidly turning over its seniority list, the young dudes are going to reach critical mass in short order, and I have to imagine the distaste in how everyone has handled themselves this year will have a powerful impact on future votes.

She is more senior than the C11 Capt rep and now a Capt herself. The ability to understand pilots two generations below her as new hires in the 21St Century must be a superpower.

so how does a Captain rep who has 25+ years seniority understand a newly minted Captain who only has been on the property for 1 year and is two generations below him?

Yeah that's an interesting fact for sure. Millenials will be in charge soon, folks. "Hold my beer"

FO rep should resign when they upgrade to Captain… this rule needs to be established. I have no issues with her being our rep… just think she should have stepped down when upgrading to 787 CA.

Not a newly minted CA, just a new hire.

Should the C57 LAX FO rep when he upgraded to SFO 787 CA? How about the other three FO reps who are Captains? What council are you in?

Her? There are four FO reps on the MEC who are Captains including the C57 LAX FO rep who is a SFO 787 CA. Should they resign?
