Interesting, but it's a bit confusing to say the triple-A has a longer WAL than the mezz notes. Under stress (with no equity call of the mezz), the triple-A will be shorter. Also, if the equity does call the mezz notes before the triple-A, there cannot be any selling of collateral to raise funds for the call (I assume!).
