As far as seniority integration, it must be fair & equitable for both sides. DOH won't work, because almost 80% of the USAir list will be at the top. A 2-1 ratio (2 US and 1 AWA) with 5-year fences for bases and equipment should do it.
A 2 to 1 will be a windfall for the west guys in 10 years when most of the east guys retire.
DOH with the same 5 year fence would result in a fair integration because in 5 years most if not all the pre 83 hires in the East will be gone therby making for a nice fair mix of the remaining pilots.
