Not true. It's specified in the contract: PWA 2.a. b.
Seniority numbers will be assigned to individuals on the first day of their new-hire training in the following order:
Company transferees will be assigned the lowest seniority numbers within the class, in order of their most recent date of employment with the Company, then
New-hires will be assigned seniority numbers on the basis of the last four digits of each individual’s social security number. Individuals with the higher numbers will be assigned the lowest seniority numbers.
