The question isn't whether seniority should have weight, it's how much weight we want to give it.

Yep. That's a good question. We have always let senior pilots bid all their vacation before letting junior pilots bid any. So the idea that you have to pick whether you want Christmas or Summer vacation is a valid question. I personally like bidding all my vacation at once in seniority order. Of course I've been in the top 10 in my base for 10+ years, so I would say that.

I personally advocate seniority based parking. No way those junior guys should get the shorter walk from the employee parking lot ! :)

Change is hard..... You'll get used to it. Consider this like Phase 19 :)
