Well, they'd be included, but slotted differently. Pilots added to any seniority list (new-hire & Flow thru not yet transferred) after whatever snapshot date is used (most likely the date of "constructive notice") will likely be considered "constructive notice" pilots and their slotting with similar pilots on the other lists will most likely go DOH. It has been understood in other SLI's that these pilots career expectations were based on the combined entity and not each carriers pre-merger condition or future. Constructive notice pilots on each of the 3 lists will maintain pre-merger relative seniority but likely be slotted based on DOH (class) and then by age.
It must be noted that prior to USAPA's dissolution...well, supposed dissolution, they participated in the JCBA negotiations and are listed jointly in the initial JCBA proposal recently sent to management. Regarding seniority, it seeks to define seniority for all pilots based on "occupational date" and any future references to seniority will be based on OCC date for all pilots. The East and West lists use DOH, so it would appear both APA and USAPA agree that that date will be converted to an OCC date (but still the same date). Of course, USAPA is seeking to still remain relevant in yet another one of its endless attempts to reneg on an agreement, so until the JCBA is ratified, anything could change.
As far as Eagle flows though, any future flow isn't on any AA seniority list and doesn't get on that list until first day of new-hire class.
