I think the point of the post you responded to is that DAL uses more captains on a smaller number of widebodies with ULH flying than do either UAL or AAL. We have a ton of 350s coming as well as 330s, so that delay in getting to that ULH widebody will get shorter as time goes on. DTW 350 has quite a few 8000 seniority FOs. CA is down to 2800 or so. I can guarantee you that the plugs will get some of that ULH flying because 70 hour layover ICN trips are not the greatest. SEA 330 FOs go down to 9000. There is some 4 man there as well I believe.

But what you have to realize is that both those numbers would be more senior if we had the same staffing as UAL/AAL with 1 CA and 3 FOs.

I have a little over 3 years to go and I am jealous as Hell of what you younger guys are gonna have available in the coming years.
