The percentage is a joke because you can't really be at 101%. If you are last you are at 100%
Its like the CAL MC trying to put some United pilots at 117% for SLI saying that they were moving up by being stapled because they would end up less than 100%.
The bottom line is you are X out of Y total pilots, and X can't exceed Y for obvious reasons.
