They wouldn't have gained 15+ years of seniority, because they were already doing the same job as the east guys with that precious extra 15 years! Don't you get it??? If you're a junior Airbus Captain you are a junior Airbus Captain, whether you've been with the company for 7 years or 20 years. THAT is what you greedy, self-centered, short-sighted, destructive easties don't get!

In other words Pissa, time to learn the difference between longevity and seniority. My buddy got hired at USAir in 1987 . Never furloughed, never upgraded, although he could have held F28 Captain in the early 90's but chose not to because he didn't like the short haul up and down type of flying the airplane did. After not one, but two; count 'em bubba;
two trips thru BK court, after all the furloughs, cut backs and downsizing; he was 40 from the bottom on his own USAir system senority list; jr reserve 737 F/O in CLT. Now 2 questions for you...
Did he have longevity...?? Absolutley, without a doubt. Now follow along here if you will and try to focus for a minute. Ready ..???? Here comes the hard question. Brace youself .
Did he have Seniority ??? Here ...let me help you with that answer ....you seem to be struggling with it
Not by a long shot.
Even though he got hired at USAIR in 1987 and had longevity, unfortunatly all it bought him was a very jr reserve position on his old seniority list, the same position he holds today on the new list. That he got hired in 1987 doesn't make a difference because
his USAir longevity bought him a very low position on his USAir senority list. Regrettable ?? Yes. Gonna try to correct that which can't be corrected at my expense and the expense of every other 'Westie" anytime soon?? No. In the meantime, Parker continues to line his pockets as you and yours continue with this exercise in futility, and LOA 93 workrules and payrates continue to be the law of the land east of the Mississippi River. Nice.
