Only if Doug was not the CEO. OK, since the CEO of this airline, US came from HP, why shouldnt boarding priorities come from the HP side? Who cares if the airline is legacy or not? Look at SW? I would like to see their profit regardless of whether they are low cost or legacy. It looks like HP is on the same level as US. HP had good employees too. USCREW, lets just agree to disagree but agree that we want this new airline to succeed so we can keep on disagreeing!!

I would imagine quite a few people would take advantage of those opportunities.
So, the majority would prefer DOH? Sounds like a no-brainer if morale is the goal. But if it’s whatever program is cheaper to administer…

Because it's BAD BAD BAD.
Loopholes and unequal access.
If you're going to honor our HERITAGE, then you also need to honor our LONGEVITY.
Because as you stated earlier, if there was a vote, the answer would be clear; therefore, if FCFS is decided, the majority will be P*SSED. It would be bad for the moral of MOST. How would that be good?

No, junior people from both sides would vote FCFS, senior people would vote for the old US Airways way. Its human nature. Even if FCFS is better.
Another good long list of reason why not to go with FCFS. I can see this and similar situations happeningSorry to quote myself, but had this happen tonight. Employee was listed on PHX flight, but the inbound connection had a 3 hour maintenance delay and misconx. Now arriving in the connection city, they want to be put on the list for LAS. OK, redo ticket, boom on the list now behind 2 other people. Wait a minute they cry (someone who should be used to how FCFS works.) I should be first on the list. Their suggestion, reorder the standby list since they were trying for an earlier flight and should be ahead of the other people since they listed for a flight 4 hours earlier. Sorry, FCFS, no can reshuffle for you. Its a great system.

That would suggest that the majority of junior people think only in the short term.
Does this demonstrate a lack of confidence in their career choice?
Or maybe they just understand that not EVERYTHING has to be decided be seniority.

OK, so try and sell me on this. Lets say you have 5 employees. Number 1 will be the most senior. Number 5 the most junior. If number 2 employee has 4 family members with them everybody below #2 gets bumped ? If this true, talk about a nightmare at the gates.
My personal opinion is that's not the way it should be. But, if seniority boarding is the final decision, I will live with it and just be glad I have the benefits. I have a feeling though, if FCFS is chosen, those that wanted seniority will not be happy and make their unhappiness well known.

Would it be better if Junior #5, #4, and #3, got on and #2 with family and #1(slow poke on computer) got left?

Well, YES. But back to my original question. Would the entire family get to go before #3 under the senority system ?
