No it doesn't, your viewing this situation from the eyes of a pilot.
You see the hierarchy as a pilot:
1. Mainline
2. Regional
3. 135
4. Flight Instructor
5. Private
The legal system does not make such distinctions; that's the problem. If a regional pilot does not think a staple job is fair he can sue for higher seniority. This is where it gets ugly.
