Right now, I think the majority of the QX pilots would be happy with a staple.

..There is no way a QX pilot should be placed above a AS pilot on the integration until ALL AK pilots have had the opportunity to upgrade...

What you are not considering, imho, is that this would be a merger of two lists under the same parent company. It is not like Alaska would be buying Horizon, as they are both already sister companies. I could see a scenario where air group seniority would be a determining factor in integration, along with a seat freeze to prevent anyone from "bumping" anyone out of their current seat.
However, this is all hypothetical anyway, since a combination of the seniority lists is a very unlikely probability, and I don't really see any reason why management would put it under consideration. As someone already pointed out in another thread, it is much more likely to see a scenario where management will simply look for a cheaper alternative (i.e. SKW). Like it or not, there exists a gap between the Q400 and the smallest 737, and I would not be surprised to see them look at outsourcing 100-seat flying to someone cheap.

I'm sure there are some greedy ones out there who would want the whole farm, not just the plot over the ceptic tank!!
