And yet WB FO is slowly becoming senior to NB CAP. I sat 31 % as a 777FO and now sit 27% as a NB CAP. Your argument was made during the SLI, but the truth is and always will be that people like to work less when they can, and senior WB long haul flying provides people with an average of 6 days a month or way less if you play the reserve roulette game. You can't come close to matching that as a NB pilot, BUT I bid NB CAP because I couldn't stand being an FO anymore nor could I take flying ALWAYS on the back side of the clock.
My point is, however, that your sentiment is 100% false. WB FO has become increasingly senior since the merger.
