10742 is 90% down the list
9189 is 80% down the list

At 80% you will usually hold a line. This may not be true in situations where the flying is low for a month or two at your Base, but the seasonal fluctuation in flying hours is pretty minimal in the 787 world.

At 90% you might occasionally hold a line. If you waive everything you are allowed to waive in PBS or if you have some know absences (vacation, training, etc) that make it so 1 or 2 trips outside those absences is all you would need to make a legal line and those couple of trips weren't enough to make a legal line for somebody senior to you that was available for the full month.

So, with the great movement we have going on right now, you might get on the airplane quickly. But, even with that movement, you would be on reserve for awhile. (prob a few years) So, living in the general area of SFO would make your life much more enjoyable.
