Am I right?
Nope.
They first decide how many SC guys they need in each 'day of availability' grouping, then they assign those out in reverse seniority order (unless someone senior has requested it via YS).
Let's say you are the most junior pilot with 3 days of availability. Every pilot in the 4 day+ group is junior to you. If scheduling determines they only need 1 pilot, and they want that pilot to be in the 3 day group for whatever reason, then you will be assigned the SC.
Seniority only comes into play within your days of availability grouping, then your RAW Bucket (which you already mentioned), and also your SC bucket (this doesn't become a factor very often in a small category like ATLDC9B). All of those things being equal, then yes, the junior guy should get the SC first.
