Maybe I end up with the worst case scenario like you mention above, and that's ok, but if the company wants to switch my training to the 75/76 any time, even before I class up for my original equipment, and I get delayed and am now effectively the last one from my IIRC class to finish training, I'm still senior to everyone else in my class because it's based on the original IIRC training equipment selection completion date only, right?
That's correct. They explain that they do this so your seniority is not affected by anything out of your control like the sim breaking down or canceling because of extreme weather or your partner being sick etc. I think this happened to someone in my class. Their original start date was moved later by a couple weeks, but they still have the same seniority.
