I see I have to add all the numbers in your columns because you label total, and its not really a total. Anyway, your numbers still don't add up. 12,434 minus the 1,728 non-flying pilots equals 10,706...not the 10,591 that you claimed. So, 10,706 flying pilots in 2008...and 10,534 flying pilots today. And that includes 256 pilots returning from military leave in that time frame. We're down just under 200 flying pilots 5 years later. That's what I mean when I say our airline is shrinking.

Pull and plug had no bearing on this data. Apples and oranges.

The Adjusted Crew Count took the 610 and 602 and spread them out amongst the various aircraft. Finally, some pilots retired prior to list build, NW has an early out program in place as part of the Furlough Mitigation Letter.
I can't imagine why you would do that unless you were purposely trying to ensure valid comparisons couldn't be made. Not to worry, I did my best to undo all the fluff you're trying to use to obfuscate...see above.
