There are two types of seniority----classification and company. Classification seniority (PT or FT) trumps company seniority when it comes to bidding. Company seniority prevails when it comes to selecting vacations and if volume decreased to the point where layoffs needed to be made.

To answer your question, no, you will not jump past them in seniority.

Me and another guy assigned to a center just passed our final test and on the same day got assigned a FT route. We're off the street hires.

But hen it comes to bidding for a full time job, the highest ranked PT employee who signs the bid will get the job.
