The answer is that since JB pilots now have a CBA that covers this eventuality, we are guaranteed seniority list merger.
Before the CBA we had virtually no protection whatsoever. Of course the anti-CBA folks don’t even consider all the scope/merger/successor ship protections that we gained with a CBA because it’s all about pay rates.
