Which bit? I know several very senior ex captains who are now at the bottom of respective seniority lists at various airlines, as mentioned above at Qantas you will be a S/O, others have started at the bottom as F/Os with airlines that don’t use S/Os.
This is why seniority can be so brutal, taking pay and condition cuts at your present airlines vs starting at the bottom again at another airline.
