When is the seniority based? ALPA membership? DOH at an ALPA carrier? Date pilot received commercial license?

That's negotiable....my vote is the DOH of their first 121 job...

I'm with you on this one. By the way, ALPA would never want the "date hired by first ALPA carrier" because they'd never be able to recruit the non-ALPA carriers.

Then there will never be a national list. Sorry, but a pilot with 500 hours starting at Mesa is not starting at the same level job as a pilot with 5000 hours starting at Southwest or Delta. No way should a Mesa pilot hired today go ahead of a Southwest or Delta pilot hired tomorrow.
 
which screws military guys. hence, one of the many problems with such a 'solution.'

A lot of military guys are getting screwed at United, USAirways, etc....How many military guys at TWA, Eastern, Braniff, etc....got screwed....This is a union issue and a 121 issue....

You're right that they won't support this...doesn't really matter because it isn't going to happen anyway....We are just going to piss and moan about the current situation.....That will be fair for all...:D

Fine...then it won't happen and we can all live with consequences...I'm fine with that too.....
 
Joe, in all your brilliance, how would you suggest implementing a national seniority list?

1. All the union carriers agree to a national list.

2. Those union carriers then negotiate said list into their PWA.

3. Don't worry...it will never happen...We will continue to fight each other as we defend our "turf".....

For argument's sake...........(lord knows that's why this place was created) Why?

A pilot who decides to pursue a career in the military should have domain over a pilot who decides to carry passengers? What's the logic there? I see them as two separate career paths.
