With their hodgepodge of subsystems dealing with various aspects of reservations and tickets, as well as the rather confusing set of codes (including those like ON with double-meanings), there are likely coding errors all over the place that will be quite difficult to track down.
If you did this, you're probably looking at a new system in any event. This is the kind of thing that is hard to avoid in such a merger. I'm thinking you may get away with it, I'll bet they will over credit rather than under credit, and at some point it will just be too tiresome to go back and keep fixing corner cases.
