It does not matter if the base list comes from Corp. The ALPA Merger policy clearly states that it is the responsibility of each Merger Committee to verify each and every pilot on the list for accuracy, not just take it on the word of Corp that it is accurate. If Corp handed me another seniority list I would reference it to the previous one I was sent and ask why there are certain discrepancies from the previous.

Also, I understand that why you reference the JCBA. The company finally changed that for their internal records. However, we go back to the ALPA Merger policy and what is defines as DOH. It does not matter what the JCBA says, this SLI follows the guidelines set forth by the ALPA Merger Policy and the defined terms in that policy.

I understand what you mean with "parity" but that is independant to what the policy dictates what DOH is. Nowhere in the policy does it state that "parity shall be permitted when their is any type difference in data." It clearly states what the definition is.

The main issue should be what is more important; parity or following the ALPA Merger policy to the letter? Im not pushing for one over the other, but that is the real question here.
