WOW!! I must be misinformed about your contract...are you sure you're right about the TOTAL flow-through?
According to the APA website, these are the seniority #'s that didn't take Eagle Rights (I'll try to attach here as a pdf, so you don't have to look it up);

I lost count at about
300 pilots who have AA seniority.
The intent of my original post was; AMR announced about
3 years ago that they wanted to sell AE ( not because of contract negotiations), and that some of us guys at OH would love to have your "16 year nightmare"...ask any OH guy here during the strike...they can backfire on ya'! Add in the 2-3 years of negotiating on the front and back-end of a 5-6 year contract, and you're staring at 12 years of relative uncertainty.
Really not trying to push your buttons, just give you an outsider's perspective...some of us would kill for 300+ flow throughs to DL with no interview, no probationary pay, full-trip pay protection, pay that's only topped by Horizon, half the number of furloughs we had (all of whom are recalled + hiring + 22 new airframes) etc....
I know...no pilot group is ever happy...I'm sure there were guys @ DAL a few years ago making $300k who b@#%*ed about something!
