Not exactly. What he was pointing out was that previously, new hires were getting their bid selection outside of the regular bidding process, which meant that if a MSP assignment was available, a new hire could get it before a current employee on the next regular bid.
It seems they are changing that so that current employees move first, then the new hires get the leftovers, as it should be.
Being low in seniority will be relative, and impossible to predict. About the only thing you can count on is not being able to get MSP your first go-round. Having said that, I know of a new hire who was 22 that got MSP. So while not common, it CAN happen. Anything can.

In that case, it sounds like it benefits those in the bottom of their class, and hurts those at the top.
I'm going to be dead last in my class in seniority, so I'm hoping this might keep me away from NYC.
