They may have employee numbers but as far as their seniority is concerned it's their first day of class. Seniority in class is determined by the last 4 of your SSN with 0000 being senior and 9999 being junior. The cadets are the exception to that - they are first in class followed by everyone else. Considering huge classes are being run every two weeks it'd certainly be nice to be ahead of a few more people but it's not a game changer by any means.
Thanks again for the info!

How could they upgrade ahead of you? Your employee number and actual pilot seniority number is not the same thing! As a cadet you get an employee number but you don't get your actual pilot seniority number until day one of class.

I don't think you're following what I'm saying. Suppose a cadet started the program today and you were hired next month (August) with the cadet's class date the month after (September). The cadet would not be senior to you - that person would be senior in their September class.

Being in the cadet program gets you top seniority in your respective class only. Everyone else who's not a cadet in class has their seniority determined by the last 4 of your SSN.

Which is why I asked. I understand the difference between an employee number and a seniority number. So when 15 cadets show up with a class of 50 hired pilots starting day 1, they are at the top of the list in that class even though they aren't legal to fly yet

No.
The cadets don't start class until they have the time just like everyone else!
The cadets don't show up until they have the times to start class... That is when they get their seniority number.

When guys show up to day one of class as cadets they are only there for their orientation. You will have the same employee start date, but that cadet does not get a pilot seniority number until the first day of his crj ground school.
