Make sense? Not really.
Any JCBA is going to have be accepted by a majority of the rank and file pilots. I doubt, seriously doubt that any agreement would pass if there was a carve out for a select few.
Further, the merger and subsequent SLI will not (under current policy) allow for pilots to be displaced from a fleet/seat/domicile by virtue of the merger.
I think the majority of pilots at both airlines are intelligent and know what they need in the JCBA.
