was the IMSL perfect, absolutely not, but thats something everyone needs to live with or find some place else to work. binding arbitration is after all, binding.
Very Important Point
RPC = IMSL implementation = One List
It is possible, legally and practically, to have One List and multiple bargaining units.
This structure exists today at other airlines.
