From Fri 12/21 CAL MEC Blastmail

...The Merger Committee has been working for some time preparing to ensure that the Seniority List Integration process provides a fair and equitable result for our pilots. With the completion of the TA in November, they now have started on a time line that will lead to an integrated seniority list in a timely fashion. This time line was established by protocols agreed to by the two MECs back in May 2010. A big step was taken this week by reaching agreement on the arbitrators who will, absent agreement by the parties, hear the case and decide the result. The three-person arbitration panel will consist of Dana Eischen, Roger Kaplan and Dennis Nolan. All are well respected, prominent arbitrators.
