You are right. The senior FO is an XJT pilot whose DOH is listed as his XJT DOH in 95 because XJT was wholly owned by CAL so he was a CAL employee, just in a different department. But he began work at the mainline in 5/99 so that makes more sense that he's only 100 numbers from a 2/01 hire on the seniority list for bidding purposes.
