It would certainly suck to go to arbitration and lose most of what we'd lose if we accept the deal. Management seems to really want to change those items, specifically. The 2 hour callout and overnight landing currency req'd would have very little monetary value.
But it's a cost-neutral arbitration. If Parker convinces the arbitrator that the change is acceptable, he has to pay for it elsewhere with a corresponding give to us of equal value. Any work rule changes aren't a "loss", but a TRADE.
