Todd the pilot could be with Midwest Airlines (formally represented by ALPA) for 25 years, be furloughed/quit and get hired by Comair (also represented by ALPA) and be junior to a pilot hired just the day prior. This system is what keeps pilots from hopping from carrier to carrier. There's been talk of a national seniority list.....but it's never got much traction.Geekhttp://geekinthecockpit.comnoreply@blogger.com
