Actually read the published FAQs.
They specifically state there is no guarantee that mainline pilots will be allowed to transfer to the new entity. Mainline pilots will still be needed to fly current aircraft for the foreseeable future.
Even if they are allowed over it may not be in rank, it may only be offered to limited numbers, the selection process being controlled by the new entity means they have complete control over who gets a job. And I’ll guarantee you a contract at a new entity will
be nowhere near as good as the money offered with the current deal and with none of the LH EBA protections included.
Vote Yes to the deal offered now under the LH contract, keep it all in house under the EBA and if you don’t wish to do the new flying, it’s simple - Don’t Bid to Fly the 350! But don’t deny others who want to fly it (there are plenty who would) the chance to do it.
