Nindiri said:Legal problems aside, a national senority list would lead to some interesting situations. For example, Captains making less than half what their FO is making, senior pilots going from company to company cherry-picking the best jobs at the expense of other pilots who have worked hard.
Beware the law of unintended consequences.
No, if you went to another carrier, you would still have to work your way up their seniority list, but your pay would not be based on that, it would be based on total time with the "guild". So a senior DAL captain wouldn't go to NWA, because even if the Captain payrates were better at NWA, he would be getting 20 or 25 year FO pay, because he would start as an FO at the new airline.
