Well, it's just my opinion. US Airways was a single financial entity with separate flight operations - East and West. There was no mixing of crews or fleets. If the arbitrators choose to ignore their actual separation for pilot integration reasons and instead place their weight on the technical aspect of being a single financial entity, then so be it.
Neither UAL nor CAL had that pre-merger issue though.
