The one moving forward is the LCAL method for class seniority ranking, which I like better.
I noticed on the seniority list two pilots, twin brothers, both hired in the same new hire class. I have no idea how they determined which one got to be senior (SSN, Alphabetical by first name) I think they were LCAL pilots.
Before this derails into a CAL v. UAL thread the SSN method is still used for filling classes from the pool. Once a class is started, seniority is determined by age.
