Just wondering.....
Arbitrator pulled and plugged 350 fNWA guys. NWA side wanted double that. In the first early out program after the SLI came out, 300 guys took it...every one a fNWA guy. The subsequent ones produced another 300 on top of that...nearly all fNWA guys. To date, almost double the amount of pull and plugs are off the combined seniority list.
