Once past the original seat lock, it makes zero difference. But in the first drop, it (can) make a world of difference.

‘older’ hire who got stuck in the -88.
Better idea: Military retirees go to the bottom of the class. They already got a pension.
Followed by mil dudes with Tricare
Then dudes that get a VA disability check in reverse order.
Then the regional/cargo/LCC peeps can get figured out in SSN order since they made the career choice to fly airline in the first place, they shouldn't be penalized
Top of the seniority list will be the Propel and ex DL employees since they drink the Kool aid the hardest.

Ex mil pilot/RJ trash/part135 goon
