Even with longevity weighted at 35% I was placed with a United pilot hired 7+ years before me. Zero United pilots who were placed senior to me are younger than me.
I hate to tell you, but if you’re banking on longevity to be heavily weighted, its not going to be. I’d be shocked to see anyone move more than 5-10% anywhere on your list.
Exactly. The guys I got merged in with at UAL were all hired 8 years before me. They're all older and were similar % at the time of the merger. They all think they got screwed despite the fact that their ability to bid changed little. They were JR then and they're JR now.
