senority in training
Are most companies giving out senority numbers and aircraft and base assignments based on age? i.e., the oldest guy in class is most senior and gets his choice...etc.

I think more do something more easily distinguished. Something like last four digits of your SSN, birthdate, date of hire.
As for aircraft and base assignments it's simply where they need bodies. Continental, Delta, UPS, and FedEx have recently been putting new hires in their larger widebody aircraft (I don't know what the percentages are but I know it happens). Just depends where the need is.

At TSA, we were ordered by the last four digits of our SSNs. At CHQ, it's by age. The vast majority of airlines use one of these two methods. Eagle I know is age, and I believe SKW is by SSN.

SkyWest does it by the last 4 of your SSN....I got the awesome distinction of being the most junior CRJ FO at the company for 3 weeks. On the lighter side though, my hire date is 5/28/07 and there are already 100 FO's under me, not counting the new-hire EMB-120 classes that have started also (2 I think).
