Default Class Seniority

Can anyone tell me how they determine seniority for each new hire class? UPS, FedEX and so on . . .

Southern goes by older being senior.
I did work for a company that went by when your birthday fell during the year starting in January. Dumb, but that is how they did it. Never heard of anyone else using it and they are out of business.

FedEx uses the last 4 of your social security number, higher being more senior.

UAL used the last 4 of your SSN...the lower the number, the better. Mine starts with 4 so thought I'd be in good shape. NOT!! I ended up somewhere around 7 or 8 from the bottom of a 23 person class. Two guys had 00 as their first digits. And, there were so many that started with 1...it was sad.
