Who scrooing whom depends on how they integrate the lists.
If they go straight ratio, the Comair guys get scrood. A 8th year Comair FO (number 600) will just love doing walkarounds for his 3rd year Mesaba Captain (also number 600). A 7th year Mesaba Captain bumps a 15-year Comair Captain back on reserve, that kind of thing.
If they do straight DOH, the Mesaba guys get scrood. A senior Mesaba FO hired in 2007 becomes very junior as 600 Comair FOs are added to the list above him. A 4th-year Mesaba Captain never gets off reserve because 500 of those 600 Comair FOs (who are senior to him) will upgrade and keep him where he is.
So some blend of the two methods would have to be found.
I'm sure ALPA will get right on that...
