By age first. If two people have the same birthdate then by SSN. Older is more senior.

Zero. All digital now. That said, you'll still need a 3-ring binder, everyone ended up with a stack of papers about an inch and a half thick.

It went great, smooth as a baby's ass. Mesa's training dept. is top notch.

If you fail any part of 121 training, are fired or, as if it matters, asked to resign under other than favorable circumstances (i.e. what Clearance was saying), it is dislosable under PRIA. In fact, failing and receiving retraining under AQP is listed under PRIA as well.

Failing a type ride will result in a notice of disapproval which is a part of your permanent record. As for the other events, I am not sure.

No, that was a legit question. Different airlines do it differently. I would have upgraded several years sooner if my airline had used age vice SSN to determine in-class seniority.
