Also there is a big deal between a career as a 737 pilot and flying a 747 A-350 or 777.
My guess is that today will have some relevance. Might want to check your stats, but you won't! As per you, CAL is a norrowbody airline (which actually paid higher than 3/4 of UAL's frames), in our narrowbody BES's, CAL has 10% more CA's than FO's, therefore evening out the percentage to very close to 50%...
