Percentage is B.S. You gained 7 years seniority on the guy who is now stuck behind you for the rest of his career. That's a windfall by definition.

By your reasoning the #1 VX Capt. should be listed next to the #1 AS Capt. who has 25 years seniority over him. He should be bidding over at least 200 AS pilots with 20 or more years of seniority? Sorry, I call B.S. on that.
