Its what we hire them to do. But I think that anybody can plainly see that all these issues took place after the merger was announced and that any reasonable mediator or arbitrator is going to take all this into account because they can see the dynamics of this regarding three party negotiations, etc.

All the arbitrators and mediators will be able to see the posturing and what was trying to be accomplished prior to ISL that it's not going to matter.

They are going to follow the merger policy and none of the things that were negotiated will affect this.

We are going to get whatever they give us, and very little we do now is going to affect that. Try reading some of the other cases (most are non airline) where this was done, and these people recognize all the pre-negotiation manipulations and it gets thrown out.
