I'm guessing 3:1 or 4:1.
From memory, that's probably in the ballpark.

I'm also gonna guess that we'll see far fewer cascading bumps this cycle as the airline is not simultaneously shrinking. Eventually bumped pilots will cascade onto on growing fleets (737 or 787) while significant retirements continue to draw from above.
