Except “expectations” count under the ALPA guidance for SLIs. From the ALPA merger policy:
As the Committee evaluated the old policy, it became clear the factors for seniority list integration (SLI) had
become a source of controversy. The new policy states that the factors that must be considered in constructing a fair and equitable integrated seniority list, in no particular order and with no particular weight, now include but are not limited to career expectations, longevity, and status and category.
The new merger policy mandates that merger representatives, mediators, and arbitrators must consider these factors when constructing a seniority list; however, they are also free to consider other factors as they deem appropriate.
