This isn't a death case sentence. 8 months is too long for the arbitrator to come to a conclusion. An outside lawyer will have the ability to ensure their isn't foul play. We are talking about $19 million here. A year.
Our MEC has said that our internal message board was not approved by Alpa. Maybe that was one of the reasons it was removed.
