Sounds like an accurate statistical analysis

My number is that the Airtran list is approx 8 years younger on average than the SWA list. And it's more skewed on the FO side than the Capt side.

The average is less than 6 years.

And if pay wasn't important and seniority was the only thing, we'd all still be at the regionals. Because honestly, no one really cares about the "size" of their equipment, only that bigger airplanes generally pay better.
