Well, that's an interesting perspective. While I'm not arrogant enough to profess whether the list is fair and equitable, what I am surprised about is that a MC could be this clueless about a process so important to his constituents. This scene has played out over and over again. The title of the movie may have changed, but the plot and ending are the same. Freud proposes something he deems reasonable. Katz shoots for the moon.... and adjusts his position based on his clients. (He USED to be Mr DOH. He must have had an epiphany...). Katz always loses and Freunds proposals are adopted with minor modifications. The board does not have the time or inclination to build a list. It's not a negotiation. Pierce thought that there would be a middle ground?? If so, LUAL would have asked for straight DOH to counter the LCAL weird formula. And the list would have ended up close to where it is..... near relative seniority (which is a WIN for the LCAL folks based on longevity issues and number of widebodys)
How can I, one of the dumbest pilots at the airline, do a simple search of arbitration awards from these two lawyers and see this so plainly, and a MC can miss it so wildly?!!

Sorry LCAL pilots. He failed you in my opinion. That being said, I don't think it would have mattered much. The award would be darned close to what it is regardless of what the two sides put forward.

I'm disappointed in my MEC's challenge of the 787 fence and the Jumpseat issue. Especially since the fences were their idea in the first place!! Hopefully both of those will be denied because we already agreed to the process, and loathe those type of challenges after previously agreeing to a process. That's something management would do
