You don't know how any of this works. It does not happen at the drop of a hat. There is usually significant lag time. Don't forget there are 193 member states and 36 of those are on the voting council. So yeah, it's not going to happen straight away like you think.

An avalanche? How many 65 year olds who've been flying International ops for a decade+ are going to want to go to 737 or A320 training and go back to 2-4 leg domestic 12 hour days with 10-14 hour overnights for another 2 years? There will be some, and it will happen pretty quickly, but at the max, it'll be 400-500 a year, spread out over 7 bases and 2-3 fleets. I don't think it'll be that bad, if it does happen.

Let me follow your logic train
1) couldn’t get enough in 4th pillar because “junior” wouldn’t vote for it.
2) now the age increases to 67 and pilots over 65 might have to bid to NBA or be accommodated in some way like a VEOP
3) “Junior” will vote for a concession to accommodate the 65-67 year pilot
Did I get that right or did I miss the collect underpants portion? I hope I’m never bitter enough at the company to wish harm to my fellow pilot’s careers.

I'll throw out the wildcard that NYC765 or NYC330 A goes to almost 10,000
Why? Because I have a grand track record of seat-locking myself on something good (73NA, 320A, 7ERA) when the next AE would have something better that I could have held if I waited one more AE.
(not realistic, but I will laugh my balls off if a pilot junior to me becomes the plug with the next guy 1000s senior)

So I guess my winter trans cons will go super senior on the ER?
