I agree with the rest of your post, but 20% sounds way too high. Where did you get that estimate?
One thing that is very different with pilots' situation is we can gain seniority relatively quickly by staying put whereas the F/As are only divided by base. PBS might give even more benefits to the senior F/As, but not sure about all those implications.
