WHY should said pilot be LEFT seat after the merger?

Shouldn't they be in the vicinity 90% of the TOTAL list and whatever that affords them to bid?
That is why the hard push for longevity restoration or consideration, so the arbitrators don't view the 97 hires's actual current seniority, but his kind of "virtual" seniority, as if there were had been no furloughs.
