All 200 captains are senior to me, as well as several hundred Saab captains. If you combine the two list by any means, ratio or DOH, the senior aircraft will be the 200 and not the 700 or 900. Since XJ has blended rates for FO's, the 900 FO's are the most junior FO's. So the most senior FO position would also be the 200. So, if DAL decides to park any 200's, the entire seniority list is displaced, with the exception of the top 50 only.
