factually incorrect. Every SLI award after the MCD has put newhires at both merging carriers at straight DOH at the bottom on the integrated seniority list. so denying a virgin class today in favor of a Alaskan class tomorrow means losing seniority at the new Alaska. many things are not certain but historically speaking its fairly accurate to say anyone hired at either side after april 4th will be put in DOH order at the bottom of the list. the arbitrators have done this for every merger in a binding arbitration award.
