2 companies. First company in business 40 years and all 747s. Second company all 747s but only in business 5 years. They merge. Category and class means they merge one for one.
But then you have 2 companies and one is a feeder with all A320s and another with all 747s then you add weight to longevity.
Reality is somewhere in between.
