Admittedly I wasn't exact with my numbers and assumptions. Quick count shows under 100 NB captains below the 1147 number and I did not count 767 capt. Conservatively I did not count them in because at best I think they will replaced by half NB and half WB but not sure. The other thing I noticed is that the great majority of the senior NB pilots are ex LUS probably not having the flexibility to move bases late in their career. Certainly there are out of seniority folks like those you mentioned. Some listed on 3XP are check airmen types and others again are required by the LUS/LAA WB job percentages. And as a 1984 hire I wholly agree that even a couple of years can mean a huge difference in equipment upgrade. Definitely not a guru on the topic but I just wanted to give the numbers available to help a guy figure out where he might be better off when it comes to airlines. Side note, you are correct about the LGA 777 guy but the DFW was LUS, the AA seniority would be at or below 2000 FWIW.
