I suspect the big reason NYC is junior is location. Take a look at all positions in NY. I don't think it has to do with the shrinking fleet. They put 60 new hires on the aircraft in 07. Many were displaced off the aircraft yet came back to it the first chance they got. NY is a junior base period on all fleets. Always has been and always will be.
