In the UAL/CAL arbitration the arbitrators completely ignored new airplane orders in their status and category list, and just went with what was on the property the day of the merger on each side, separated into 3 groups, Widebody (747/777), Midbody (757,767), Narrowbody (A320,737).
Delta/NW has something similar, but they had a 100% status and category merger and United/CAL used S&C and longevity.
Good luck to everyone over there.
