Question NWA Pilot Bases

I have a couple questions about Northwest Airlines:

(1) What are the numbers of pilots at Northwest Airlines' pilot bases?

(2) What bases are most senior/junior?

(3) What aircraft are at each pilot base?

As a current Delta employee who lives near a NWA pilot base, I am interested in what the landscape will look like after the fences come down, assuming this merger thing happens and is approved...

Thanks...

Default NWA Numbers

DTW is the biggest and most junior, but has the most choices of aircraft. MEM is pretty small, just 9's and 320's. ANC is just 747-200 cargo. SEA is a 330 base only and pretty small. MSP has all types except 744. They are standing up a small 747-200 base in MSP for mil charters. Don't know how long that will last. Here's some rough numbers of Captain Positions at each base. FO numbers will be a little higher than the capt numbers.

ANC- 70-747
DTW- 250-A320; 160-A330; 160-744; 210-757; 150-DC9
MEM- 85- A320; 50-DC-9
MSP- 320-A320; 25-A330; 200-757; 120-DC-9
SEA- 90-A330

SEA is the most senior (I believe). We send new hires everywhere except SEA. MEM is senior for the limited jets it has.
