However no single merger has had such a simplistic resolution as you suggest. That's why arbitration generally lasts several months, the awards run near 100 pages, and neither side is ever completely happy with the result. I'll grant you one absolute; it's absolutely clear that the "new merger policy" that is the mantra of s-UAL, absolutely provided for binding arbitration by placing the UPA ahead of the ISL. Binding arbitration will actually be binding. Out of curiosity, what is your source for the Bloch Award for Colgan-Mesaba-Pinnacle. Have you actually seen the award is that more useless ACP crap your so fond of interpreting? If you've actually seen the award, please provide a link.
You are.

Yeah, it was also the mantra of your own MEC Merger Committee Chairman.
