Case in point, back when we still flew 727s our most senior airplane and domicile was SDF 727 - which was all domestic. So lots of out & backs, many nights spent in your own bed and yet the very same pay rate as the folks who’re flying 747s flying around the globe.
With a single pay scale seniority is more about type of trips and QoL than pay rates. (we do have a small international pay override but it’s nothing I’d switch airplanes for)

You would be able to hold Z on the first system bid most likely...that being said you probably wouldn’t want to. You would go from having pretty decent seniority to having zero control of your schedule for probably at least two years. I’ve been a here a year and can’t hold anything, I just get whatever is not the flavor of the month. I have had pretty good luck with the trip board though.
