Jeeze dude. Lighten up. You really have some issues ya know. Someone the other day, an outsider, asked for DOH because he wanted to know how long it takes to make Capt. For him the seniority # means nothing and the DOH is what he wanted to know about. As far as your "How would you know that" question, are you serious? It isn't hard to look at a name on the seniority list to determine his/her seniority # genius.
And why did you copy exactly Jerry's post from the other day?

You have a great memory then, because after 3 mergers I have no idea who is around me in terms of seniority and DOH... I keep hearing from some of the North guys that there is 2 or more years between them and their South equivalent seniority numbers... or is that just a bunch of bunk?

Oh come on. How stupid do you think we are? 
Let's look at the 767 Captain rate for example:
2004 (C2K) rate: $267.52
At 78 hours monthly average (I'm guessing that's not too far off from what guys were averaging back then) and adjusting for inflation, that would be $314,428.22 today.
Current rate: $219.62
At 87 hours (the last average I saw from DALPA), that would be $229,283.28.
The difference between working 78 hours in a month and 87 would be at least another day on average possibly 2. So today's 767 Captain works a day or two more to get $85K less flight pay.
I'm not buying your assertion that you're anywhere even remotely close to C2K adjusted for inflation, even with profit sharing... unless you're flying a bunch of green slips or something.

Thanks for correcting that nonsense.
Pretty sad when our own pilots do a better job of lowering expectations than management.

Looks like LAX is going to become something like the NYC ER was in 07-08. New hires out there and hope they are putting them in position for a big Asia push like the NYC were put in position for the big European push.
