Then, at least I will retain some of my accrued seniority when the lists merge, vs starting over from the bottom. (Unless we're stapled, but I don't think that is allowed anymore.) Seeing that we strive to be a thorn in the side of the legacies, I could see one of them saying enough is enough, and just taking us outright.
