The problem with a master list for all USA pilots (which I think is what's suggested) is that if your company goes bust, will another company hire you and pay you at the seniority you had previously? I doubt it.
I can imagine airline apps have a "national seniority number" box. The junior guys may get jobs at other carriers but high seniority people will either be ignored or only hired in extreme circumstances.

It is heartbreaking to start over but much of that can be fixed by reducing the extreme disparity between the bottom and the top. It is only the Ponzi scheme nature of the system that causes so much heartburn.
The current situation should help. Captains who thought they had a safe seat might want to vote for higher FO pay now. Pilots who thought they would never see reserve again might want to vote for better reserve work rules now. Reducing the huge differences between aircraft types would have the side benefit of reducing the ridiculous number of training events displacements cause.

OO is not hiring at the moment so in that sense you are correct. But i do know that the people that are on property are still getting their pay based on prior experience. And once OO starts hiring again i would expect for the Soft Landings to resume again.

This specifically screws over expressjet pilots who have already been hired at united through the United Aviate program. Since XJT is going out of business, these pilots will need to get their 1,000 hours or whatever is required at another United Express carrier. Making it harder for these guys and gals to get hired at Commutair is limiting their ability to do so.

"Current plan is for 36 new hire FOs and a net of 72 pilot positions by end of the year. 8 former C5ers have already been interviewed or otherwise expressed an interest in returning under LOA 3 and these internal interviews are ongoing. External pilot interviews will begin mid-September. Former C5ers, TSA, ExpressJet, or other UAX carrier pilots with a 145 type will be hired preferentially."
Nobody is making it harder for anyone to get hired at CommutAir. Actually, the hiring process at CommutAir is anything but "hard". Please stop with the nonsense that you posted.

Another way to look at a national seniority list. If another airline failed, would others want those pilots coming to their airline in seniority order and bumping them down? As an example, would other regionals like it if the very senior pilots from XJT went to their company and took the senior slots? I doubt it. We all like to talk about industry unity until it affects us in a bad way, then all bets are off. A national seniority list is good from the prospective of people working for a failing company, it’s bad for the rest.
Your neighbor divorces his wife and leaves her with nothing. And in order to prevent her kids from starving, you are now forced to marry her and take in all her 5 kids. Doesn’t get anymore socialist then that. 😂
