Ahhh.....the irony considering the "Nicolau" US Airways SLI where Brucia (as a CAL pilot neutral) dissented and wanted to give status for furloughed US Air pilots, specifically:

"I do not agree with the Board's decision, in the particular circumstances of this case, to integrate only working pilots as of the date announcement, leaving all those on furlough at that date on the bottom of the combined seniority list."

Ultimately Nicolau referenced the dissenting opinion and wrote in his decision that he was bound to follow ALPA Merger Policy.

So much for unexpected outcomes in arbitration.
