I has to read the arbitrators decision several times.

There were no INVOLUNTARY furloughed pilots. There were pilots who were still on bypass but all pilots active or not had been offered a recall.

See above, it actually was a merger of "active" pilots, because technically ALL pilots on either list had been provided the opportunity to become "active", and the remaining were exercising their rights under the PWA/CBA to bypass recall.

Very interesting stuff here!
See above, all pilots were placed on the list as if they were "active".
