Yes. Jblu A220 and E190s should be integrated below A320 pilots. This is standard Status Category methodology. This is no different than when you see Legacy mergers where they heavy pilots are integrated above the narrow body or regional mergers where RJs are integrated above props. And no, this doesnt mean a senior 190 pilot would be integrated junior to someone they are senior to, but the slot will be. Seniority list integration methodology has become much more predictable with ALPA carriers since they revamped the merger policy. DOH is a dead integration method, staples are a thing of the past; it will be a stat/cat integration with maybe a slight consideration to DOH if the JBlu merger committee can make the case that the disparity between the DOHs on the list will be too drastic. But then again, this is up to the arbitrator(s)
