Give the old guys first choice. It only matters for one day, when aircraft & base assignments are made. Then it all falls in order of hire.
How about down the road when schedules are being bid? Or vacations? Bases? Does seniority within the class matter if there were furloughs? I'll have to check with the low pilot in a class that didn't get to upgrade but watched a classmate. I'll make sure to reiterate that seniority only matters Day 1.
