Yes. When I said "above you", I was referring to the poster above, who was a senior F/O, and had TWA CAs ratioed in above him. The ratio you refer to correctly, was started at AA seniority #2500, then 8.14 AA-to-1 TW to the staple point/bottom.

As far as STL, who knows? But I guarantee the TWA pilots fenced into there involuntarily aren't going to be flushed into the system with no protections, after what APA & Supp CC assured them in STL. That would be grounds for a mighty DFR suit.
