Arbitrator had nothing to do with a rebidding the airline decision. It was actually Fred selling it to Jeff for JP. Jeff used it to gain favor with what he thought would be the new leader of the merged pilot group (JP). Thought wrong! Before you try to put it on ALPA, I don't think ALPA had a say other than the leaders of CAL ALPA making a deal with Jeff.
If you know of any written agreement between ALPA and the company on rebidding the airline (flush bid) or an arbitrator ruling concerning the same, please share it with everybody.
