"My 20+ years of experience at airline X should count during SLI even if it wasn't at VA." All so you can gain leverage and add to the 9 years that really does count. Nice try though.
Longevity won't matter much anyway. Two narrow body fleets merging will be pretty close to relative seniority with a couple percentage skew for time on property like UAL CAL probably.
I predict everyone ends up within 5% of the pre-SLI seniority.
