Sure, there is a reason .... because there WAS a merger, and the old UAL is dead, so your expectations now rest in the now merged new UAL ... both MCs will do there best to bring history to bear and sway the arbitrators ... but in the end, all of our expectations will be altered as a result of the merger. I will have to live with my decision to go to work for CAL, just as you will have to live with your choice ... remember, it only has to be "fair" to the 3 arbitrators, and no one else.
