Alpa merger policy will go into play. Pay rates will be raised at F9 to the current NK pay scale. Then the JCBA will be negotiated. Pay rates have nothing to do with how a seniority list will be integrated. When Ual Cal merged and Dal/ Northwest. Pay was brought up to the higher or the two. Then a JCBA was negotiated with a seniority list. JCBA usually is held up by one pilot group not the company. The company will want the synergies of a combined airline as fast as possible.
