Let's see if I have this correct.

In the AWA/US merger held in front of an arbitrator the East group claims they are not bound by the agreement.

In the AAL/US merger held in front of three arbitrators the West groups claims they are not bound by the agreement.

If you don't want to be bound by the protocol, don't participate. I'm not sure why this process hasn't stopped dead in its tracks given one party claims they aren't bound by the agreement but the other two groups are. Does anyone else wonder how that can be fair and equatable?

Is there really any wonder the views expressed by some LAA pilots on this forum? How much more screwed up can we make this merger, let alone the last one?
