He is confusing the word "award" with the final seniority list. He also doesn't understand that he grabbed the status and category list from the actual award document and thinks that means they used ONLY that method for placement.
Award = Arbitrators Report <---- word he keeps misusing
Status & Category = list of airplanes and positions <-- That's what he saw
Longevity = Length of service
Final Placement = their post-SL order on the list. <-- keeps referring to this
So he see's the S&C list from the "award" (i.e. report) and thinks that means that the arbitrators did a 100% S&C final placement. If you just replace the word Award with Report it makes sense.
Its like replacing the word "considered" to "will be used". Because that's what it means and not "we will think about it".
That's why this process uses professionals and not airline pilots.
