Those are all people I will never be senior to so at best I'm guessing and this is a guess , the lowest I'd get on seniority list is about 2000 ish. Maybe. aA has not hired in years. From what I'm seeing most are older than I am. I have a buddy who will be No 1, another about 80 ish and another 6 months ahead of me who is my age projected to get down around 300ish. . So it makes sense to me that I could get down to around 600 or 700ish at AA. Fastest movement and best in long run. Does that make sense to anyone else or should I be chasing the money and better rules at DAL instead of long term seniority and QOL?
If your goal at any airline is NY base, then I think DAL should be your choice. Super junior domicile. Junior captains on 717/MD 88/90 in NYC is only 2011 hires? Not too bad making $184/191 an hr on year 4 pay.
Best of luck on your decision.
