It is impossible for me to see how many of those are younger, but based on DOH vs RS, it looks like the biggest hiring gap is 8 years, most of the time its around 6, and until 2002, DOH favors NK. Pure Guess, worst case scenario, is for a 2005 JB guy getting an extra 400 younger guys ahead. And pure RS wont happen.
At 27% RS (because of the biggest gap between DOH and RS):
JB #1200 DOH 2006. after merger at DOH #1400 (19%), at RS #2000, at 50% 1600 (22%), so an extra 200 NK in front vs DOH.
NK #800 DOH 2014 after merger at DOH 3300 (45%), at RS #2001, at 50% 2700 (36%), so an extra 1900 JB in front vs RS.
I don't know what is "fair", just don't believe in slinging numbers without backing it up.
I had a AA Jumpseating to MSY ask me about the whole B6/NK deal. After a small chat, he finished with telling me that he was a 2001 AA hire (Not TWA) and had a 2013 Airway guy jump in front of him. I will say that no one knows what will happen when the SLI comes to play. Look at pinnacloaba merger and how that ended up. All i know is that it won't be pretty FWIW.
