A precedence has been set that might be applicable here. When CO bought PeopleExpress they stapled the Captains to the bottom of the Captains list and everyone else to the bottom of the list. The PE pilots sued and won a more fair integration. The courts agreed you can't staple anyone and get away with it. At least that's my recollection of it.
My perception of the reason the TWA guys got screwed was they agreed to not fight it in court. The thinking, I guess was that if they didn't agree to AA's terms they were gone.
Food for thought anyway
