I am a little confused on a point, and have not been able to locate an answer within the forums. I understand that pay scales, schedules, etc., at major airlines are based on seniority. That part's clear. But what if, say, you worked at one airline for 20 years, and then switched to a different airline for some reason (laid off, etc.). Would you start back at the beginning of the pay scale, as FO on a smaller plane, etc.? Your seniority level would indeed be very low at the new job. But that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me.
Thanks in advance.
