IMO not really more than any other group.
my relative seniority barley moved after the VEOP and for almost a year after and they still tried to furlough 1941 of us.
I’m fact I would argue the benefit for the bottom was the least pronounced at the time. the top 3rd saw a very large amount of their peers retire which opened up a huge amount of WBA slots as well as significant improvement in relative seniority for whatever category they were in at the time. For the middle 1/3 of the list, Many of them were able to reinstate to their previous positions or bid for a new position with much better relative seniority. while not much changed for the bottom 2000 or so until almost a year later. (It was not until April of 2021 when we were brought back to a status with an airplane and June when we hired our first pilot post Covid)
