This senior pilot left his airline company to fly on the same airplane as his daughters. In a trending reddit post by u/pervertmaindo, the reddit user shared a photo of the pilot beside his daughter, adding that the man decided to fly as a junior pilot in the new airline for his daughters – which raised some concerns:
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
He’s in the left seat and wearing captain’s epaulettes, I dont think he’s a junior anything.
Yea, I was like aw how sweet then I looked and was like why does he have more stripes than her if this is true
Even though the man has more stripes than his daughter in the picture, making pervertmaindo’s caption incorrect – other users also shared that the original poster’s caption is correct:
A: If the caption is accurate and B: this new airline works like American domestic carriers, he absolutely is. Rank means nothing, it’s all about Seniority. That’s why you seen First Officers with 30+ years tenure, because seniority is what matters. If a FO with 15 years tenure with an airline crosses over to be a Captain they start back at the bottom.
This guy was probably hired as a Captain but is at the bottom of the ladder when it comes to getting preferred flight routes, etc.
