As has been pointed out, that is not true.
From the ALPA Merger and Fragmentation policy:
e. The merger representatives shall carefully weigh all the equities inherent in their merger situation. In joint session, the merger representatives should attempt to match equities to various methods of integration until a fair and equitable integrated seniority list is reached. Factors to be considered in constructing a fair and equitable integrated seniority list, in no particular order and with no particular weight, shall include but not be limited to the following:
(1) Career expectations.
(2) Longevity.
(3) Status and category.
