On a tangent, I'd be more concerned with short/mid-term seniority movement as opposed to final position at the bell.
That matters for QOL while you still have a family at home, so as to provide for them and also bank money for the future. That last is important both for time-value of money and also risk of health issues down the road.
Anyone hired today in their 30's will make plenty of money and have excellent QOL after age 60, as a NB CA or WB FO, if not WB CA. If you get hired today and upgrade reasonably quickly you can have PLENTY of cash in the bank by age 60.
