The only way Swayne gets a 175 is if the company puts enough of them in the bid so he can choose one. Apparently, he was not a Cadet at UND, so that puts him likely near the bottom of Group 3 based on age.
With pretty much all of the FO spots in the last two classes being 175, I’m not sure how likely it is for that to continue.

Look at the numbers from the last few classes. They don’t need more 145 FOs right now. All they have to do is make sure he is in a class with enough 175 slots. They know exactly how old everyone is showing up to class. That would be a lot harder to prove there is anything preferential.
