You have one thing right, "here's to the arbitrators"
What many are doing is defining a pre-determined outcome. Then they either manipulate current ALPA merger policy or completely disregard it in favor of past precedent prior to policy revision. They do this to achieve their desired SLI scenario to benefit them at the expense of others.
What do I want? First and foremost, I want to choke the proverbial golden goose til it lays those eggs. Second, I want a SLI born of the current policy. If the outcome is the result of those parameters, then so be it.
