Obtw, just checked the number of pilots at Delta. 11,200+. I'm sure the movement to the left seat is obvious and plentiful.
So, you exaggerate to make a statement! The ones " leaning forward" and making the 300k+ had enough seniority in 1999 to never consider jumping ship! Your original statement was ridiculous- just admit it!
