Correct. The difference being that if a pilot did, in fact, sit lower on a relative percentage post SLI, then to say that they lost relative percentage is a valid observation. The same can be said for the 1998 hire at UAL who is behind the CAL 2005 hire. The UAL pilot can make the point that he is junior to a pilot hired at 2005 at CAL. That pilot cannot, however, make the claim that they lost 8 years seniority.
