What about splitting the difference DOH and relative seniority. I was hired in 96 at nwa and I have a good friend hired at DAL in Jul 97. My relative seniority at NWA is 67% on the combined DAL list (Thanks to Steve of ezopenboard) I would be 7200 which would put me at 59% relative seniority. Thus if we split the differnce I would be at 64% relative seniority or 7800 which would put me behind my friend hired in Jul 97 at DAL.
