There would be no "increase" in senior pilots. We all work here already, just on 3 different seniority lists. You do straight percentage integration to 2 decimal places, that should be enough for anything under 9,999 pilots. In case of a "tie" in percentage seniority, a list integration committee composed of members from each of the 3 groups takes turns spinning a 3-segmented wheel of fortune to determine order. Basically no one loses much of anything. If you lose a tiny bit on the wheel of fortune, you are just a little unlucky. It would be fair all around. You fence pretty much everything for a few years to avoid a Pinacolaba-style training fiasco, except upgrade vacancies. Upgrades go in order of the new list.
And Slats, I know you're a troll, but talking about pref interviews at OO is beyond silly. People would just leave even more than they already are if that was put in front of them. Inc. can't afford for pilots to just leave. I agree XJT may be bled down somewhat before all this happens, but that is happening anyway, and who really cares because your position on your list at time of integration is the only thing that matters. I am about 15% on the XJT list, and I will be about 15% on the new list if I'm still here when this is all done. If anything else is proposed I will go sell tires or walk dogs before moving 1 airplane anywhere for Inc. They know this. You should too.
