Please show where I was factually wrong, please. My friend around TW #300 applying 8:1 ratio makes him around #4900 (2500 + 8*300). His adjusted DOH went from 85-ish to '97.
And, I'm pretty certain the senior TW Captain was way senior to AA #2500.

You're not wrong about your #300 seniority friend. He probably did end up around 5000ish. However, 2 things: 1) a #300 at TWA was not hired at TWA in 1985, more likely 1978 or earlier. 2) a 5000 seniority # at AA is most definitely NOT a 1997 DOH, closer to 1991.
The seniormost TWA pilot is currently sitting at AA seniority #2912. It was around 2500 when the list came out in 2001.
