You are incorrect. They will have to so there is no growth on the lower paid airline over the one that is paid more. It’s called leveling up. Everything else is correct. I have been through one. As far as seniority. You can most likely expect relative seniority +or- 1 percent.
I'll have to go back to read some of the merger language in our contract. I know there's some stuff in there to prevent "whipsaw" where the company can use two pilot groups against eachother but I don't know about a requirement for them to match pay. I guess I'll be reading that tomorrow in cruise.
