Yea, that IS the disconnect. But CAL and XJT had different seniority lists within the same company so the DOHs aren't chronological on the CAL list. XJT is placed on CAL list when they were supposed to go to mainline training (not when they actually started training but that's another story). The problem comes when merger policy says "on the Company's payroll" which XJT pilots were at their XJT DOH. They do get XJT DOH credit for some things like travel.
