I've never heard of this term before. Don't you mean (completely at the bottom of the seniority list and junior to the lowest S/O that joined before you and she/he'll get promoted first when the time comes) F/O?

Everyone joins a seniority list in order, at the bottom, based on date of joining. If a number start on the same day then seniority is based on age for that group. It does not follow necessarily that those that join before you get promoted before you to captain though. For instance, Thomsonfly have been recruiting direct entry captains, although they join the seniority list at the bottom and are 'junior' as you term it, to the S/O above them, they are nonetheless a captain. Also, remember that Thomsonfly recruit a lot of very inexperienced pilots too, so if you join behind them with considerably more experience and meet the requirements for command before them, you may get a command before them. This is exactly how I got my command, as many more 'senior' F/Os didn't meet the experience criteria or chose not to bid for a command on the 737, something incidentally that many are now doing.

A lot of myth surrounding the change in legislation. It was covered in this this thread.
I did provide a link in that thread to the actual legislation if you want to read it.

With reference to your last post, I can officially certify that "TOM" could not handle a handball by Handy Jack McHandy from Handsworth if it had a handle.
They recruit with the same flair as they retain their brand image and customer loyalty.
