This is going to be interesting. here is what I got as ALPA merger policy now.
The new policy states that the factors that must be considered in constructing a
fair and equitable integrated seniority list, in no particular order and with no particular weight, now include but are not limited to career expectations, longevity, and status and category.
The new merger policy mandates that merger representatives,
mediators, and arbitrators must consider these factors
when constructing a seniority list; however, they are also
free to consider other factors as they deem appropriate.
