Very interesting!
I am passing on the number crunching and analysis to you, and here are some numbers to start you off.
The bottom 50 pilots (2857-2906):
747 – 24
ANC MD – 9
DC8 – 17
The bottom 108 pilots (2799-2906):
747 – 54
ANC MD – 32
DC8 – 22
The next 100 (2699-2798):
747 – 39
ANC MD – 45
DC8 – 0
A300 – 12
SDFZ – 3
ONT – 1
Only 22 of the bottom 208 pilots are FE's... actually, after 2799, you have to go all the way to 2241 for the next most junior FE.
