The first 280 or so at VX will see a 20% degradation in global seniority but base position will be unharmed. Most everyone else will see much smaller global position moves.
Just an FYI, nobody at UAL/CAL moved more than 5% in relative seniority, even with United having a big advantage or WB planes (777 and 747). That's why our CAL 06 hires are paired with some UAL 98 hires, etc. The bottom 1/3 of the CAL list was hired after virtually the entire UAL list.
That was with Longevity weighted as 35%. I'd be shocked to find out your 50% mid seniority pilots to be more than 10% apart in the final award.
