Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this.
Meme is on target above.

FYI, check out the AE Trend Analysis stickied post. It has the data to support the fact it will take 70% overall seniority to hold the bottom WB in the company. ATL is consistently more senior to the rest of the bases, so it is likely to be more senior than that. FWIW, 70% has been consistent for 10+ years, so I wouldn’t expect that to vary much in the future.

However age 67 will delay it further when/if that passes, but a large WB order will put more junior pressure on the future awards. 10 years from now, all our 767-3””’s will have been replaced by top pay-banded positions.

The question then is when could you get to about 70% overall seniority or better?
