System seniority only really counts for upgrades. Even though these jet pilots will be "junior" overall, they will be more "senior" on their equipment, consequently having a better overall choice of line/days off.
Everyone has there own take... I look at it as you may be relatively more senior on the jet, but your choices for some time will be which inefficient and poorly structured line of flying you want.
Plus, the little bit of added seniority for on the Saab can make a substantial difference (just ask the guys at XJ who've been upgraded/downgraded too many times to count).
To each, his own.
