While that matters a lot to individual pilots, it wouldmean nothing to an arbitrator. I'm sure there were some pilots who left an airline that eventually merged with another one. They never get any credit whatsoever for that. No arbitrator will ever care about that; its not a thing.
The bottom line of all of this is that we would be playing with fire. The threat of something greater than a staple would be real. Why mess with that when we could get the exact same end result by flowing even more EDV pilots until that flying is phased out?
