The arbitrator will have to determine the value of those jobs. At a average cost of 300,000 a year per pilot your looking at 9 million per year over 4 years. I suspect however the arbitrator will adapt some metric we may not like but I would say 36 million is the very top end of value he would find for the pilot group. Reality is it will probably be a fraction of that.
