Not to be snarky, but the attorney who represented US Airways, Northwest, and Continental during their recent seniority arbitrations (Katz I believe?) is also very well versed on the legal and arbitration systems. That experience hasn't really paid off very well for his clients, although I'm quite certain he has made out very well despite never actually being on the side with the greatest influence on the final list in those cases.

No, I am not comparing NewK to Katz, I hold NewK in great esteem. He is one of the few APC posters that is willing to have a discussion absent a great deal of the emotion that tends to bubble up here.
