That's the point that I would support. It's also the most arbitrary. (Mine's August 1993)
Other things could be worked out like a national longevity list as opposed to a seniority list. This would entail keeping your longevity, but losing your seniority when you change jobs. Another requirement: first furloughed, first hired. When there are furloughes out there, they get first shot at jobs they apply.
I believe that would be the most fair way to determine where your number and pay will fall and based on equipment of course. Granted, not everyone has an ATP (career FO's) so I guess once you are qualified to fly for hire in a ME AC then the COM ticket would be a better way.
No matter what airline you work for you would get longevity pay per ac type. Once you get the certificate you are part of the Union or guild and if you are working with a non-union carrier you would be inactive unless you gain employment in a unionized carrier. The work rules remain the same for everyone (union or non union) so if someone starts an airline without a union and flies 737's to get pilots to fill those seats they would have to pay the universal rate. TO UNITE/NATIONALIZE THE PROFESSION IS THE GOAL NOT JUST THE UNIONIZED CARRIERS. THIS WOULD BRING US ALL TOGETHER.That would gain the most unity and one voice and eliminate pilot groups battling each other.
