There must be an employee performance rating system, why not allow the highest performing FA’s the first pick versus seniority. This would hopefully then inspire competition to improve performance. It’s a carrot not a stick. I don’t share the opinion that all FA’s are interchangeable, it’s a spectrum of performance, just like in any profession.
