You're half right. Sort of.

CMR never had seniority numbers at mainline. Ever.

They did (kind of) sue for a seniority grab, but did so indirectly. Technically it was about "the process" not the list, but the purpose of the process was eventually one list, which you could almost argue was somewhat noble to a point. However the methodology used was to take the runway, reach V1, and then figure it out. That put everything from DOH to relative to staple on the table from a theoretical standpoint, yet of that was directly linkable to them at the time.

So they never had numbers. But they thought they were going to get numbers, and they were coopted by greedy ego maniacs who though the noble "process" would get them a staple as a floor regardless, and likely closer to relative or DOH with nothing to lose.

Water under the bridge and not entirely relevant to Endeavor, though there may be some degree of overlap from a mentality perspective, I don't know.
