The point isn't to get into specific numbers, just to point out the advantage of widebodies waxes and wanes depending on a variety of factors, chief among them being where you are on the list.

My real point/question is driven by the comments about LCAL pilots trying to "steal seniority" because from the viewpoint of much of our list, that's exactly what the LUAL proposal does. LUAL's proposed list moves many of us out of a status/category we held proir to the merger. I hold no ill will because of the proposal, the respective proposals are what they are and the board will make a decision. My bet is that at my seniority, the decision will be in the middle, meaning neither side held the high ground.
