Besides the fact that a 2011 hire gets placed next to a 2016 Spirit pilot, it is very likely that those Spirit guys hired well after the same relative JB pilot are younger, so would affect a JB pilots future movement disproportionately.
A list like AS/VA with 60/40 longevity/relative is a good compromise and a recent precedent.
