LAX is marginally senior to DFW.
ORD is junior to both of them is not as junior as LGA/MIA which tend to cycle as the most junior base.
Flipping a coin, at my seniority, MIA is slightly more junior.
In general, going back decades, the NE has been junior and California senior.
Retirements and route structure changes might make the future different from the present.
