Our current bid (nov) has:
20 Md-80 FO vacancies (10 SFB/10 VBD)
14 Airbus FO vacancies
6 757 FO vacancies (LAS)
14 MD-80 CA (VBD)
12 AB CA (VBD)
Based on the current status of each fleet's training program and sim availability I would not expect any airbus in the NOV class.
There will also be additional need for more -80's in December or possibly January.

The SS number has nothing to do with age since it is the last four digits, but your caution is still valid.

Plan on an 80-100 day footprint in training, especially if he gets AB. More senior pilots less, less senior pilots more. That's what it's currently running. Training here is exhaustive, that's no joke. He needs to be prepared to put out a lot of effort and self study, and don't expect to make it home much.

If our SS numbers were only 4 digits long, your logic would make sense. However, since they are the last four digits of a 9 digit number this logic does not apply. There is absolutely no correlation in my class between age and last four of the SS number.
