If Southwest pilots agree to a 3:1 relative slotting top to bottom with no C and R's.

Doosh, stop spouting nonsense you know nothing about. You have got it waaaaaay wrong. The ALPA merger policy specifically states that no MEC or member ratification of a seniority list is allowed. It is the job of the Merger Committee to come up with the list. Once they sign off on it - done. No vote, no polling, no ratification. Done.SWA still have to vote on it. It is a proposal. If the SWA pilots have a vote that would implement a seniority proposal with a 3:1 slotting you will not see a contract with Valujet.
Under ALPA both groups needed a separate vote. How the hell was ALPA going to get 50%+1. The Nic under ALPA could not pass. If the Nic gets forced on the East, then it will go back to separate voting like ALPA had it. There is nothing final and binding about the Nic . ALPA even tried to change the list at Wye river, which means the list is negotiable. ALPA proved it when the tried to get the West to change their Windfall award.
Oh and by the way, many Valujet pilots think that because of the merger. Once this takes effect, that Valujet ceases to exist. As does Southwest. What remains is a new company. So want ever SW had does not really count. It is a new company just like USAIRWAYS.

The same goes for the Allegheny/Mohawk rules the Southwest/AirTran merger fall under. Although there isn't a specific clause like in the ALPA policy, there hasn't been a ratification vote in any of the A/M mergers in the past. That means by legal standards the precedent has been set, and there will be no ratification by rank & file pilots. The merger committee makes the decision, and it's done. If the merger committees can't agree, it goes to Binding Arbitration, a phrase you seem physically incapable of understanding.
This is just another outburst that shows you don't know what you're talking about.
