Having read ll the material put out by both side, here is my prediction, like it or not.
Based on the arbitrator's instructions at the end of the last meeting, the awarded result will lie somewhere between the 2 proposed lists.
The arbitrators seemed interested in the program used by the UAL side. I think they might want to use it to run some scenarios of there own.
I think the answer will be to remove UAL and possibly CAL furloughs from the lists and rerun the UAL program.
Sorry to all the furloughs, just my opinion, and in this case, really doesn't mean much.
You still want to hold on to that senority grab by your side. Not going to happen and selective reading on your part will not change that. The arbitrators said nothing about deciding somewhere in the middle, but they did say over-reaching(lying) will not gain any favors.
