That's my point. More widebodies does not equal a lot more captains. However it does mean a lot more FOs. Since LUAL is mostly widebody it's seniority list is mostly FOs by a much wider margin. I would guess LCAL has 2500 FOs while LUAL has 3000 or more. That also has to be considered in the career expectations argument.
