Oh, in my post above, the numbers listed are the most junior pilot in that category, if it isn't obvious. :-)

SEAFO330R 3462/8081

The second number is the combined seniority numbers from the latest list I have.
What does the "B" and "R" stand for after the A/C type?

R = Reserve

Great info. Any chance that you could attach some date of hire #'s to the seniortiy #'s??? For those of us on the outside looking in. Thanks!

They have taken the DOH's off of the seniority list to lessen the sting.

It fluctuates, but overall, a NWA guy is slotted in with a DAL guy hired a year to a year and a half later. There are some pockets the other way...a bud of mine was a late 95 hire and got slotted before 91 DAL hires, and some of the guys hired in late 2000/01 got slammed behind 07 DAL hires.

....good one...how about this: "Some of the NW 2000-01 hires were delicately, and lovingly placed in equal seniority with some DL 2007 hires, while some 1995 NW hires were tenderly, and affectionately placed with some DL 1991 hires....resulting in a deeply satisfying union of brotherly love..."

..."Then, in a frenzy of egalitarian compassion, all of the 1985 DL hires were placed in equal seniority with the NW 1979 hires....resulting in a spontaneous, joyful rendition by the 12,000 unified members of the Delta Tabernacle Choir of the 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Handel's 'Messiah'"....
