This is confusing. What do the pilots on international flights have that those making 1/10th on regional flights lack? Are those thousands of hours of flight time actually useful if seniority arbitrarily resets when a pilot changes airlines?

Probably a matter of experience and certification on the bigger jets, international etc. All the regional jets are smaller, and many routes aren’t even jets.

It goes right into the canon of using lots of words to ignore consumer surplus. I like how airline jobs were simultaneously 'glamorous' and 'solidly middle class'.
