After the AA/TWA debacle, Congress passed a law to prevent this. If one employee group of a merger doesn't agree with the seniority list, then it automatically goes to an arbiter to decide. Because if this new law, when DAL/NWA merged, the pilot groups realized they would not agree to any SLI. They both agreed to go immediately to arbitration to speed up the integration.
