There is a simple fact that many folks seem to be confused on with regard to this (and all other) SLIs. NO EXISTING LIST WILL BE REORDERED, AT ALL, EVER.

There are a lot of things to argue about ... methodologies, ratios, dates, relative positions, the strengths and weaknesses, assets and liabilities brought by the parties to the merger. These and others will all be laid before the arbitration panel when the time comes.

I don't know how this will ultimately turn out, but if Jones is senior to Smith on the pre-merger AA list, he will be senior to Smith on the merged list. He may be one number senior to Smith, or there could be dozens (or even hundreds) of pilots from the other group placed between them.

I thought this was Seniority 101, but it seems lots of people are cloudy on this concept.
