The BOA wasn't even phased by the 9th tossing a grenade into MB. Now that they have made a decision, I don't see a mere "committee" webuttal (Elmer Fudd voice) I don't see a committee being granted permission of verbosity (except for their own consolation).
Definitely just vacation. Committe comments will mostly make for a good bird cage floor covering, but the whole process (complexity and duration) makes everyone go "ooh, ahh".
How come pilots need arbitrators to figure out seniority..(the FAs did a better job negotiating too)? Bob Crandall warned the pilots and said they should figure out seniority for themselves. We shall see. We shall see.
