You seem to know something about intercepts and if so then you also know that there are numerous other considerations when trying to decipher whether a particular firing solution would be valid or not.
95% smaller shot opportunity? Well that is a statistic that I was never trained on so I'll leave that one alone other than to say....hummm.
But back on topic slight at least....

Indeed, a case of union busting by ALPA. I flew with a lot of those PFEs, who got their pilot's licenses and had a special code on their DOH. Many were good pilots, too. One could not make a bad landing on 727.

I'm not familiar with this jobs action from ALPA.
If I read this right - and in its most simplistic terms - one union helped break a strike by another union?
