Yes. Our more expensive contract forced the flying to the cheaper side of the airline. Eventually, this benefited the CAL side more than the UAL side. Since we are all under the same contract now, UAL pilots didn't get to benefit as much.

The arbitrators know that the UAL contract was superior to the CAL one. So did management, which is why they put the flying where they did.

The arbitrators aren't going to award the CAL side for a lousy contract as being one of the equities brought to the merger.
