Relative seniority doesn’t really play a huge role in livable hub like DEN for UAL.
I said it's a WAG. Actually a bit of a SWAG when you look at the large w/b fleet counts at all 3 airlines.
The great news at DL is that there's no 767 replacement smaller than a 330/787. Delta's 'larger than 767' fleet, and pilots getting larger aircraft pay, will be larger in the short to medium future.
