I fail to see how an AA MC will get a better reception deciding how the East and West list should be combined. There are no separate East and West equities. The company has been merged since 2005. AA can propose whatever they like but the only combined Airways list which exists, and has been accepted by Doug Parker, is the NIC. No other list has been accepted by Parker and I'm not even sure one has been proposed by USAPA.
If the LAA committee doesn't take a position on the Nic how can they present an integration model at all ?
If the LAA committee doesn't take a position on the "pre-merger career expectations" of West pilots, how can that concept even be in play for arbitral consideration ?
I think you are confusing what you WANT out of this situation as opposed to what it will be.
