Hi Vic, the seniority points given at the end of the flight vary according to the flight types, for example, schedule, charter or assignment flights. Assignment flights are the ones that give the most seniority. The flights that give more seniority afterwards are schedule flights. And the flights with the least seniority are charter flights.
With all this, also FDR has a seniority points calculation module which evaluates the state of approaching to Ils/Vor, day/night conditions, the length of the runway, the weight of the aircraft and airports that are dangerous to approach etc. All these factors affect the seniority score you will receive at the end of your flight.
I hope this explanation helps you to understand.
