TSA already lets guys show up for two days of indoc, then take 6 months back wherever they are, before showing up to class with 6 months seniority already in their pocket.

The 'select' seniority people are probably the same people that would qualify for the reserve your seniority crap that the company is already doing, mostly CFIs that are close but not quite at their ATP mins.
That's a creative work-around.
Do they tell OTS hires that, OBTW there are six months worth of cay-dets who are already senior to you and will start pushing you back down on reserve after you get on line?
