If I told you before the AE results were published that a pilot in the bottom 99% of the seniority list would be displaced from DTW DC9 to NYC 7er would you have believed that?

Being junior at an airline that has 12,000+ pilots in a faltering economy with aircraft retirements and base realignments is a lot different then being junior at DAL 15-20 years ago.
