They won't have to. The new entity will already be established flying the 350 when you voted NO.

Your argument is moot. They will be hired anyway on an even worse deal under the new entity. Then the company has an established cheap labour company competing directly with you. 16 years from SO to FO? Wait till you see the consequences voting NO will have on the rest off your LH flying career.
Also I disagree with your statement about your vintage colleagues. After flying with some who have been directly affected from the lost decade, there opinion is the complete reverse of yours. They were of the opinion they never want to see it happen again, and I agree.
