It seems that the only people in favor of a national seniority list are those working at financially struggling airlines and those that are in danger of being bought out.

Not really. The pilots you are referring to worked for airlines in an airline industry. None of those folks you are referring to worked for multi-billion dollar, worldwide shipping conglomerates.
I agree with Czech Airman. The vast majority of the people who support a "national seniority list" are those working for bankrupt or near-bankrupt airlines.
