Semper paratus:
The combined seniority list is used when bidding from SC to SAS. The "old" SC seniority list is only used for strictly inside purposes, ex. aircraft bidding within SC, base biddings, etc. Even FC courses within SC is following the combined seniority list, so that F/Os from SAS that bid FC in SC get their right seniority.
But either way: When you have been in SC for four years, and SAS takes say 56 pilots from SC each year, you would still have about the same number of SC pilots in front of you, no matter which seniority list was being used.
