The IBT is attempting a last ditch, desperation expedited arbitration to settle this issue. F9 is currently hiring of the street and the IBT wants the positions filled via the IMSL. Unfortunately, RAH has been hiring off the street continually since the IMSL was issued. Ironically, the IBT had nothing to say about the filling of vacancies at RAH via the IMSL (even the filling of unfenced 190's and Q400's) but now, surprise surprise this is a pressing issue that requires expedited arbitration.

The IMSL has never filled a vacancy at F9 to date. We have filled vacancies one way since the IMSL was issued, F9 DOH (the IBT didn't say anything about that either).

Arbitration is apparently scheduled for late January. By then this ship won't even be a spot on the horizon.
