Absent the change in merger policy, IF the 3 panel arbs had based the award on the past 20 years of merger/integration precedent, this SLI would have been a straight Cat/Status ratio based on the lists as of MCD .... how any L-UAL guy can't understand this is almost beyond some of the arrogance many on this forum exhibit ... Your group gained at the expense of the L-Cal group, thanks to the change in merger policy ... Your own MC/MEC said it best: "unprecedented".
True unity will not be found until the majority of the L-UAL group accepts the windfall as such, with a measure of gratitude.
What do you mean by straight 'cat/status'? Are suggesting that it would've been done with no consideration for aircraft size or type? If so, I vehemently disagree...but that horse has long since been beaten to death.
One more question. Do you assert that 'unprecedented' equals 'wrong'?
