Although it's likely that there will be many similarities in our final ISL as the UAL-CAL model, I think the most important thing to glean from that award is THEIR position that "each case turns on its own facts".
The funny thing about that quote is it is repeated over and over again in these arbitrations. Trace it back to George in "The Nic" which was him quoting his earlier FedEx/Flying Tigers decision of 1990.
