We don't, that's my point.

Yes.

Not quite that simple. A *successful* common carrier petition would force a seniority list integration.
Since one group is union, there would then be mandatory vote to keep or reject the union (SGU does not get a vote on that). With 99% of XJT voting yes and maybe as little 30% of SKW voting yes it would almost certainly pass.
SGU has little control over that process. What they can do is continue to do nothing which would enable a common-carrier petition. That's why XJT management, crew support, etc is kept separate. Also why it would be a bad idea to grant them longevity at SKW...in addition to the cost, it would blur the common-carrier line a bit.
