Purple,

Their opposition to ALPA isn't, and wasn't the reason why I stated their "lack of integrity".

Both sides, (AWA/USAir) conducted a corporate merger, and both contractually agreed to binding arbitration for determination of their Integrated Seniority List (ISL).

How unhappy were both sides prior to the Arbitrator's final ruling? They must not have been too unhappy, as they both felt ALPA was their best choice for a bargaining agent during Seniority List integration, right? (Otherwise, presumably, they would've started the USAPA drive prior, during, and after the seniority list award?)

Fast forward to a date "AFTER" the Arbitrator's award was published, and now all of a sudden the "Easties" feel as though they'd been wronged. (E.G. They didn't get what they'd thought, or wanted from the Arbitrator's award, so obviously it's ALPA's fault?)

Anyway, PURPLEDRANK, I you're not on my ignore list because I enjoy reading opposing views to a subject.

Good day, and enjoy the cold one.
