Edit: anc beat me to it and said pretty much the same thing.

Agreed, I think we've watered down seniority more than any other legacy. I remember when it told a UAL buddy that on the WB here, the Captain usually dolls out who gets the landings. Dude looked at me like I had two heads. They have specific rotations for FO and bunkie, so he said dudes would lose their minds if a Capt tried to do that.

Their duty pilot is also a CA only position. Not sure about sim IP positions, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a senior thing as well.
