I disagree with the closely matches part of your statement. It did match for the original few BAT bids but now that they are involuntarily displacing 76T to 756 it no longer matches what seniority should be.
I would be willing to bet that if the company put out a vacancy bid for 100 756 EWR they would fill all 100 spots.
